The Toronto Oratory is a community of Catholic priests and brothers who, through the ministry of prayer, preaching, and the sacraments, bring the riches of the Church’s spiritual, intellectual, and liturgical tradition to bear on the modern world. Observing the life established by St Philip Neri, we are in the city, but not of the city, working through the quiet attraction of beauty, holiness, and truth to kindle the flame of the gospel here in Toronto. The Oratory serves two parishes in the Archdiocese of Toronto: Holy Family (since September 1979) and Saint Vincent de Paul (since July 1995).
