Blessed Sebastian Valfrè C.O.



Today is the feast of Blessed Sebastian Valfrè, C.O. (1629 –1710) who was an Oratorian in Turin and is known as the Apostle of that city.

There is an online life of him here and the Oxford Oratory website has an account of him which can be read at Blessed Sebastian Valfrè. There is another one, with illustrations, from the Manchester Oratory, which can be seen here.

Following the 6pm Mass at the Oratory this evening we shall have Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament to mark the feast.
