Chapel Construction and Temporary Changes
Renewal is at work at the Oratory! Renovations and construction will be wrapping up early 2025, and we will do our best to minimize the inconvenience it poses. Our sincerest thanks for your patience, and for your help with our Magnify the Lord capital campaign which is making all of these improvements possible!
See below for the most up-to-date schedule/location changes during construction, and please stay tuned for updates to this page as we learn more.
Adoration
Mass
Confession
Update 1/6/2025: Weekday Adoration will be in the temporary adoration chapel until the end of February 2025. All are welcome to adore the Blessed Sacrament in the temporary chapel perpetually (excluding mass times) Monday through Friday.
Perpetual Adoration will take place in the main chapel on the weekends.
To accommodate room for choir loft and lighting improvements in the chapel, a few rows of the pews have been temporarily removed. All Masses remain in the main chapel, and the Mass schedule remains unchanged. See below for Mass schedule details.
As of 1/2/2025, Monday-Friday noon confessions will occur in the first floor office across from the water fountain.
Monday through Friday 4:00-5:00 pm confessions will remain in the main chapel confessional.
All weekend confessions will be heard in the main chapel confessional.
