Discover a Place of Prayer
The Rock Hill Oratory gathers individuals together to share the commitment of learning how to pray and remaining faithful to prayer.WELCOME TO THE ROCK HILL ORATORY
“If God be with us, there in no one else left to fear.”
– St. Philip Neri
Currently the Rock Hill Oratory is not open for programs, meetings or other group activities. We are not able to welcome overnight guests at this time, and there are no noon masses or regular confession times. We have made this very difficult decision based on the advice of professionals for the safety of the Oratorians and our visitors. Please pray for us as we pray for you.
