Oxford Oratory
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Oratory Church of St Aloysius Gonzaga (or Oxford Oratory for short) is the Catholic parish church for the centre of Oxford, England. It is located at 25 Woodstock Road. The church is served by the Congregation of the Oratory. The two other Oratories in England are the Birmingham Oratory and London Oratory.
The Oxford Oratory was established in 1993. Before that, the church had been served by the Jesuits since the 1870s and by the Archdiocese of Birmingham in the 1980s.
[edit] Liturgy
It is part of the tradition of the Oratory in England to ensure that the liturgy is celebrated in a dignified and worthy manner. Most Masses are celebrated in English, though Mass is also celebrated every Sunday and Holyday in Latin, according to both the current Roman Rite and the Tridentine Mass form.
