Congregation of the Oratory

Congregation of the Oratory is a community of secular priests formed by St. Philip of Neri in 1575, and bound by no religious vow, each one of which is independent of the others. It consists of novices, triennial fathers, decennial fathers, and a superior, their functions being to preach and hear confession.
