 French Congregation of the Oratory
The Congregation of the Oratory is not a teaching order; Oratorians have directed many colleges, notably de Juilly; but neither this nor instruction in seminaries was ever the sole object of the congregation, though it was the first to organize seminaries in France according to the ordinances of the Council of Trent.
Among the Oratorians were Father Harlay de Sancy, Father de Balfour, the latter of an old English family, and Father Robert Philips, a Scotchman and theologian of great merit, who entered the Oratory in 1617 after having been tortured for the Faith in his own country.
When Protestant intolerance forced the other Oratorians to leave England, Father Philips remained as confessor to the queen, and in 1644 returned with her to France, where he died in l647.

New wealth had made people lazy and selfish, the Protestant reformation had swept many Christians away from the church, Rome had been sacked and, worst of all, the church's own leadership was full of corruption.
The Oratorians soon developed a massive following of people from different professions, including bankers and thieves, painters and printers, prostitutes and officials from the upper ranks of the church hierarchy.
Eventually, the officials who opposed him died and the Pope allowed Neri and the Oratorians to return to their work.

Even though this congregation is usually thought of in the context of the movements that arose from the Counter-Reformation climate of the Roman Catholic Church, it presents numerous elements of originality and autonomy that characterize it within the framework of the religious movements born in that historical period.
By this he meant to underline the difference between the Oratorians and the Jesuits in spiritual and operative matters, the former characterized by a familiar, immediate, spontaneous, open approach, the latter by an austere, gloomy, rigid, rational style, almost detached from the world.
In this case, the Oratorians would hold firm to the hierarchical distinction between church and oratory, distinguishing clearly between the two in their architectural and decorative aspects: marble for the church facade and brickwork for the oratory; frescoes and gilded stuccoes for the church interior, white stucco and whitewash for the interior of the oratory.

In 1652, when the Oratorians came across this proper young man, whose uncle everybody had known, working diligently on their behalf in the office of the Maestri di Strade, he must have seemed far more sympathetic than the truculent genius whom they had been wrestling with for the past fifteen years.
Spada's notes of 1657 were written to counteract a long-standing prejudice on the part of most Oratorians in favor of Arcucci, the man who had insinuated himself in their service by courtesy, connections and piety, in short, by everything except imagination and art.
He is to be buried "privatamente, senza pompa alcuna" in the Chiesa Nuova in the tomb of the Oratorian brothers, with 100 masses said as soon as possible, with 4 torches lit in the Chapel of S. Filippo Neri and 20 around his cadaver.

Ten years ago, Cardinal Bernardin established here an Oratorian Community in formation, and this year its five members, who had all lived separately, finally established a home for the Community in Immaculate Conception parish in Highland Park.
Two of the Oratorians are priests of the Archdiocese, a third is a deacon and two laymen are novices.
Its members are engaged in a variety of pastoral services and ministries in parishes and at the Pastoral Center; but they are principally given to living the life of the Oratory, a community of friends praying together daily, celebrating the Eucharist and sharing prayer with others.

The oratorio was at that time a relatively new genre having come to Venice about 1667 and the performances took place between November and the following Lent.
Initially it was the Oratorians at S Maria della Consolazione (the Fava) who supported the oratorio with works by Giovanni Legrenzi maestro di cappella at St Marks dominating the repertoire.
When performances at the Fava came to a halt in 1679 the ospedali, particularly the Incurabili under the direction of the maestro di coro Carlo Pallovicino took up the cause until the late 1680's.

Faber, or, as we should say, Father Wilfrid, is to be continued, and here­after under the direction and responsibility of the English Oratorians established at Maryvale, to which congregation Father Wilfrid, and those associated with him at St. Wilfrid's, are now attached.
The English Oratorians could not better express their own Catholic feelings, or better serve the cause of Catholic truth, than by such a series of biographies of the Saints and Servants of God as was projected and commenced by Father Wilfrid.
Hence he implied that this holy exercise ought to be as powerful an instrument for the sanctification of Oratorians as the practices of a religious life are for the perfection of monks.

He was ordained in 1551 and soon achieved fame as a confessor, attracting huge crowds of penitents to San Girolamo della Carita, where he lived in a community of priests.
He had remarkable success in making converts and attracted many priests to aid him in ministering the in- formal conferences he devised for the throngs seeking spiritual advice and solace, and in time they became known as Oratorians because they summoned their groups to their oratory (room) for prayer.
However, the actual founding of the Oratorians dates to 1564, when Philip became rector of San Giovanni Church, and five of his disciples were ordained and installed there and followed the spiritual directions he established.

 Oratorio dei Filippini, Rome
Immediately to the left of the Chiesa Nuovo is the Oratory, a residential house of prayer of the Congregation of Oratorians founded by St Philip Neri.
The house was built for the Oratorians - an order which was very popular in Rome - by Borromini (1637-50), and was designed as a place where they could live, work and pray in common.
A notable feature of the building is the finely articulated facade, which contrasts with the adjoining church in height, form and coloring.
