Following on from the success of our Oratory Parish Social on ANZAC Day, we are returning to Wellers Hill Bowls Club, 34 Esher St Tarragindi, for an afternoon of fellowship, family and fun. Each Sunday, the Bowls Club arranges for a Food Truck to be present, so all your lunching needs are taken care of. There is plenty of space for children to run around and play too. Feel free to invite family and friends along too. Show up for the afternoon or come for an hour between 12:00pm – 4:30pm finishing in time for Vespers.

Mary Immaculate Church Bell Restoration
Church bells call us to prayer and witness to the presence of the church in the community. Church bells are so important that they traditionally undergo special prayers and exorcisms at their installation.
Mary Immaculate Church Bell
While we were ringing the Angelus during the lockdown periods, the bell has since fallen silent needing to undergo some repairs. Many people in the surrounding suburb, including non-Catholics, let us know how much they appreciated being able to hear the church bell.
We have taken this opportunity to undertake significant restoration to ensure the bell continues into the next generations and upgrade the equipment to toll the bell automatically. We will soon hear the bell again calling people to Mass and prayer with the ringing of the Angelus three times a day.
The bell restoration takes place in two stages. First a frame is built around the bell to support it in its

Novena to St Philip Neri
We invite you to join us for our Novena to St Philip Neri starting on Monday 24 May in preparation for his feast day which we will celebrate on Wednesday 2 June. This year his feast day is transferred due to the Octave of Pentecost, but we are sure he won’t mind! St Philip had a strong devotion to the Holy Spirit who he visibly saw enter his heart while praying in the catacombs.
Prayer to St Philip Neri
Look down from heaven, Holy Father, from the loftiness of that mountain to the lowliness of this valley; from that harbour of quietness and tranquillity to this calamitous sea. And now that the darkness of this world hinders no more those benignant eyes of thine from looking clearly into all things, look down and visit, O most diligent keeper, this vineyard which thy right hand planted with so much labour, anxiety and
