The Pittsburgh Oratory

t the corner of Bayard and Bellefield, in the heart of Oakland, you will find something rare: a house of prayer that never closes. Priests live here in common, celebrating Mass twenty-one times a week, hearing confessions every day, and keeping vigil beside the Blessed Sacrament around the clock. This is the Pittsburgh Oratory — an Oratory of St. Philip Neri and the Catholic Newman Center for Pitt, CMU, and Chatham.

St. Philip Neri gathered restless young Romans for prayer, music, and friendship in the 1500s. Five hundred years later, Oratorian priests do the same in Pittsburgh’s university district—and the spirit is unchanged.
