 Since 1989, the Oratory has offered a summer school for lay people. There are two week-long sessions. The first week is an introduction to the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The topic for the second week varies each year. The first session is a prerequisite for enrolment in the second session.
There are three classes each day, taught by one of the Fathers of the Oratory. A special Mass is celebrated. And lunch is served. The day begins at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 3:00 p.m. The Oratory can accommodate a limited number of people in the seminary residence. The fee for the course is $150 per session which includes lunch. The surcharge for rooms in the seminary residence is $50 per week.
Please note that the courses are aimed at adults and older teens.
The topic for the Second Session in the summer of 2008 is
“Saint Paul the Apostle”.
Session One: July 7 - 11, 2008
