The New Brunswick Congregation of the Oratory

One of only eight Oratorian houses in the United States, the New Brunswick Congregation of the Oratory of St. Philip Neri was canonically erected by the Servant of God Pope John Paul II on September 8, 1998.  After seven years residing in Somerset, NJ, the Oratory moved to its current home at St. Peter the Apostle Church, New Brunswick, in January 2006.  Currently, the Congregation has five members: Three priests, one seminarian and one novice.  Principal apostolic activities include the Secular Oratory, St. Peter the Apostle Parish, and the Catholic Center at Rutgers University.
