Today is St Philip's Day, an occasion to give thanks for the life and inspiration of St Philip Neri, and also for his continuing intercession for his extended Oratorian family. It is also a day on which to give thanks for all the Oratories throughout the world and to pray for their members, both clerical and lay external members.
Our Lady and St Philip by Tiepolo
Here in Oxford we began our celebrations with Solemn Vespers and Benediction last night, followed by blessing with a relic of St Philip. This evening there will be a Solemn Mass, with Fr Ian Ker as preacher.
St Philip pray for us all
