Please be aware that registration for programs including meals or overnight accommodations closes ONE WEEK PRIOR to the program. Programs are also subject to cancellation if enough registrations have not been received by that time. We appreciate your assistance in this part of our planning process!
The Oratory strives to offer quality programs at reasonable fees. However, inability to pay should never prevent anyone from attending our programs. Scholarships are available.
