!What is The Secular Oratory? !

Oratories undertake their work and ministry within what St. Philip called the “Secular Oratory.” By membership in the Secular Oratory the laity enter deeply into the spiritual and liturgical life, in imitation of the life and charism of St. Philip Neri. The Congregation of priests and brothers together with the laity form the “two lungs” of the Oratory. We encourage all adults and families who come here for any of our sacramental, devotional, or educational activities to register as members and to be involved in our many groups. Please note that our Oratory is not a parish, and thus Secular Oratorians will need to be registered at their home parish.

“Cast yourself into the arms of God and be very sure that if He wants anything of you, He will fit you for the work and give you strength.” - St. Philip Neri

“I wish the intellect to range with the utmost freedom, and religion to enjoy an equal freedom... I want to destroy that diversity of centres which puts everything into confusion by creating a contrariety of influences. I wish the same spots and the same individuals to be at once oracles of philosophy and shrines of devotion... I want the intellectual layman to be religious, and the devout ecclesiastic to be intellectual” - Blessed John Henry Newman

!The Catholic Campus Ministry Program

The Pittsburgh Oratory serves as host to the Ryan Catholic Newman Center, the student center serving the University of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon University, and Chatham University. The Oratorian Priests, in collaboration with FOCUS missionaries direct the campus ministry in the Oakland section of Pittsburgh.
