St Philip's Day Mass at the Oxford Oratory was celebrated by the Rt. Rev. Dom. Cuthbert Brogan OSB, Abbot of Farnborough. The mass setting was Missa Vestiva i Colli by Ruggiero Giovanelli.
During the Offertory, the choir sang a new setting of the prayer of Baronius, 'Respice de cælo Sancte Pater' by John Caldwell, former professor of music at the University and a regular parishioner, who composed it as a gift to the Oratory. More photographs and the text of the Abbot's sermon are available on the Oxford Oratory's website. (Photos: Tessa Caldecott)
