Study Abroad
Oratory offers week-long trips to several countries in Europe for the purpose of acquainting students with foreign environments and customs. In past years Oratory has hosted trips to France, Italy and the United Kingdom. One highlight from the 2006 trip was having Easter mass at the Santa Maria del Fiore Church in Florence, Italy.
Popular at Oratory is the annual ski trip to Italy (however in 2007, they went to Utah instead of Italy). Not only do the students have the opportunity to ski on the Italian Alps, but they also experience the life of the surrounding towns.
