It was so comforting to see a Mass performed with such solemn dignity. I’ve been attending SFDS for some time now but my family and I just became “official” members of the Oratory.

This Mass was a fitting capstone to 100 years and a fitting beginning to the restoration campaign. Everything about that Mass tells one why the Oratory is so vital to this Archdiocese.

What a hit! The Mass celebrated at the Oratory is the most splended expression of prayer I have ever experienced in my 35 years. WOW! When we left, my wife and I both said, "the joy of confirmation returned." A prayerful mood in the air, reverence, the sacred music, voices in that awesome choir...and the Consecration....pure, real, life changing... The joy for us as a family to be able to raise our young daughter with this- makes it all the more. This is true Renewal.. I love our Catholic faith... -Thomas Paul I too was there on Sunday November 23!

They said they had come from St. Thomas, Missouri, about 120 miles away, after seeing the notice in their diocesan newspaper (Diocese of Jefferson City). They rose at 6:30 that morning to make the trip, looking forward to the music of the Mass and to the German feast later.
