Secular Oratory Presentations
When the first members of what became the Secular Oratory met with
Saint Philip in 16th-century Rome, he often asked
them to give talks to one another on Scripture, Church history, the
lives of the saints, and other aspects of Catholic life and culture.
We continue this tradition by inviting members of Secular Oratory to
volunteer to make presentations at our meetings.
This audio archive shows that the topics of the presentations are as
varied and diverse as our members.
A current schedule of presentations and other events can be found by following this link, or by clicking on "Schedule" at the top of each page.
