We are a contemplative, ecumenical, Catholic faith community, part of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. We remain united to the sole Church of Christ by a valid Eucharist and by apostolic succession.
We hold true to the faith of the Church instituted by Jesus Christ Our Divine Saviour, who said: "I am the way, and the truth and the life. No man cometh to the Father, but by me." John 14:6. Our Lord Jesus Christ is not only the Son of God, He IS God.
At The Oratory of Our Lady & Saint Francis of Assisi, we celebrate the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in a way that is reverent, God-centred, dignified, worshipful and with a much-needed emphasis (in this "modern" increasingly secular world) on the sacrificial character of the Mass and the Real Presence of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
We are an inclusive community with the main aim being to offer unrestricted access to the sacraments to everyone. We do not discriminate and particularly welcome those who have been discriminated against, for whatever reason and feel isolated and cut-off from the Church and their faith because of it.
Our mission is to follow the two Great Commandments given by Our Lord Jesus Christ: "to love God and to love our neighbour".
