The Toronto Oratory is a Catholic community of priests living under the rule of life[1] established by its founder, Philip Neri (1515-1595).

In the early 1970s, Fr Jonathan Robinson, at that time a priest of the Archdiocese of Montreal, gathered together several young men to live as a pious community considered to be under the patronage and inspiration of St Philip Neri.

At the invitation of Cardinal Carter, the Oratory moved to Toronto and was put in charge of Holy Family Church.

[3][self-published source] In 1995 they were asked to take over the neighbouring parish of St Vincent de Paul on Roncesvalles Avenue.

Religious activities include several masses offered each day, officiating at weddings and funerals, and Catholic priestly services such as hearing confessions.
