SHHHHHH!  Don’t tell anyone about the best kept secret at Saint Maria Goretti, The Saint Philip Neri Oratorio! 

After all, if everyone finds out that we have a lot of fun while learning a little about our faith, we’ll never find a place to sit!  If people find out that St. Philip Neri used to pull the pins out of women’s hair after they spent all day with their hair stylist, and he’s our patron, these Oratorios will get HUGE!

And please, don’t tell any that the Oratorios have been moved to Friday evenings (Philip Neri on Phirst Phridays).  Or that there’s always an “open mic” portion of the Oratorio, for those present to speak up and ask questions or express concerns about the topic at hand.  We don’t want this thing to get too out of hand!

But if you’re asked, don’t lie!  Just tell them that the Oratorios are on Phirst Phridays in the Parish Office Narthex from 7:00-8:30, including topic-related snacks, and that Free childcare is provided in the school preschool room!
