New look for the London Oratory's website... and some notices regarding Lenten devotions

I noticed last night that the Fathers of the London (Brompton) Oratory have made some changes to their website (here). I'm sure that you'll agree with me that the new look, though not radically different, is quite striking. It's nice to see that the homepage has some new images of the church's many beautiful chapels.

Whist on the website, I saw an advert for an event to be held in the Oratory's St Wilfrid's Hall on Monday 28 March at 7:15pm. It seems that
Fr Cassian Folsom of the Benedictine Community in Norcia - St Benedict's birth-place - will give a talk on “The Role of Monks in the Re-evangelization of Europe.” As a fan of the Benedictines, and monasticism in general, I will try my best to attend this (free) event!

The Oratory Fathers will also be hosting special devotional evenings throughout Lent. They will be held between 6:30pm - 7:30pm in the Little Oratory on most Wednesday evenings during the penitential season. In keeping with the Oratory's spirituality and mission, these events will be based on the traditions of St Philip Neri. The evenings will consist of prayer, music and spiritual addresses. For specific dates and more information, please see the London Oratory's website (here).
