Our celebrations for Cardinal’s canonisation concluded on Sunday with a wonderful Mass of Thanksgiving at which Bishop William Kenny preached. Here one of the many students who look to St John Henry paid a quiet visit to his shrine to pray before his relics. #oxfordoratory
The Fathers are delighted to host Bishop Barron to speak on Newman and the New Evangelisation here in the University Church (by kind permission of the Vicar and Churchwardens). It’s being live streamed now on #bishopbarron ‘s Facebook page #oxfordoratory
A wonderful crowd gathered in the Chiesa Nuova on Sunday night for the Musical Oratory, and here all stood to sing the Te Deum in thanksgiving for our Cardinal’s canonisation. #oxfordoratory
