Provided is a simple form to use to make a one-time or recurring donation towards reimagining and enhancing our student oratory.

As many of you know, the oratory has a unique history. What began as a language laboratory has, over the years, been repurposed into a place of prayer and worship. Today, it serves as a gathering place for our students, formators, and spiritual directors - a place where the seminary community comes together before the Lord in prayer, the celebration of the Eucharist, and quiet reflection.

Our students have long expressed a desire to see this sacred space transformed so that it might more prayerfully direct their hearts and minds toward our Mission and the reason they are here: to discern their path as they seek to serve the Church as missionary disciples in love with Jesus Christ.

This summer, we began that transformation. We repainted the space, added lighting over the Stations of the Cross, selected sanctuary lighting appropriate to a worship environment, and began installing the reredos behind the altar, beautifully crafted for us by Abbey Woodworks. I have included pictures of our progress. Our hope is that this transformed oratory will continue to be shaped into a place where the presence of God is encountered in a profound way - a place where generations of young men will kneel, pray, worship, and listen for the voice of the Lord.
