Via Crucis & Oratory of the Passion

This is just a reminder that Brothers are expected to take part in the Via Crucis at 6.30p.m. in the Oratory Church on the Fridays during Lent, and to attend the Oratory of the Passion afterwards in the Little Oratory.
Tomorrow, Friday 19th, there is a Mass being celebrated in the Little Oratory at 6p.m., so Brothers will need to take care to be quiet whilst robing for the Via Crucis.
