Fr Michael introduces the Evening of the Arts

In celebration of St Philip’s birthday (July 22) the Oratory hosted an Evening of the Arts, displaying the wealth of creative talent among our parishioners and friends. As well as painting and conceptual art, there were poetry readings, specially composed songs, and a short play starring St Philip and St Peter. Very many thanks to everyone involved.
