Oratory 150: Phase 2

Organised by The Oxford Oratory

Our church will be 150 years old in 2025, and we want to restore it to its lost beauty. To prepare for the future of our thriving ministry in Oxford we are embarking on some major works.

The Oxford Oratory is a vibrant centre of Catholic life, attracting people of all ages and from every walk of life. We use beauty to raise hearts and minds to God, faithful to the traditions of St Philip Neri and St John Henry Newman. Our church is the centre of Catholic life in the city Oxford.

Story

We are currently raising funds for Phase 2. We have uncovered the stunning murals of Gabriel Pippet in the sanctuary. Now we need to restore the rest of the sanctuary to match.

The high altar will be restored in its original position, making the sacred liturgy even more dignified.

Meanwhile, the sacristy has developed structural problems and its flat roof is failing. The new plans provide a modern and carefully planned sacristy, doubling the floor space and storage.
