Did you know that the Oratory is solely responsible for the cost of educating its new priests?
For this reason, the Friends of the Oratory were established to help raise funds. For just R240 a year, you can support Br Simon, our current student for the priesthood, and stand a chance of winning monthly cash prizes.
Subscriptions run from October 2024 to September 2025 and the first draw takes place in October.
Who are the Friends of the Oratory? They are you! Members of our parish who financially support the education of new priests, and help further the studies of existing ones.
Why does the Oratory need the Friends? Oratorians receive NO financial support for the education of priests. All funds must be raised independently.
How does it work? Your contribution goes towards the Oratory education fund and buys you entry into 12 monthly draws for cash prizes. An annual subscription of R240 = one entry per month for 12 months. And of course, buying more than one subscription means you increase your chances of winning! Pledges are paid annually in August which allows the Oratory to plan for the year ahead with the funds available.
How to join? Simply fill in the sign-up form above by the end of August 2024 and pay your once-off subscription.
