New Envelope Company

Due to ongoing delays with our current mailing company over the past year, we will be switching to a new printing company, NCS. The next mailing will be sent out at the end of July. In the meantime, you are welcome to use a plain envelope for your donations over the next couple of weeks. Thank you for your understanding, patience, and support.

Registration for Family Faith Formation (F3) and Sacramental Prep is Open!

Looking for a different way to grow in faith? The Brooklyn Oratory Parishes invite you to our monthly Family Faith Formation program. Instead of traditional drop-off classes, families gather once a month for a shared breakfast, prayer, and breakout sessions where parents and kids learn the same topics at their own levels. We are here to empower and support you in building holy habits at home! Sacramental Prep Registration is also open for First Holy Communion and Confirmation.

Ready to join us? Click here to register. For questions, please contact Joe O'Brien, Director of Parish Faith Formation, at jobrien@oratorychurch.org

Mass Intentions

It has been a long tradition in the Church to offer Masses for people to pray, especially for the dead, seeking God’s grace, mercy, and spiritual benefits through Christ’s sacrifice. Usually a modest donation is given for this. In the coming weeks we have several Masses with no particular intentions. If you would like to have a Mass offered for someone (living or deceased), email the parish office at info@oratorychurch.org or click here.
