The Oratory sponsors various activities throughout the year to offer support and encouragement for member families.

(See the Contact Us page for more information on these activities)

• Friday Group: On Fridays, except for First Fridays, Oratory families get together for fun and fellowship after the 8:00am Mass at St. Albert the Great in Dearborn Heights.

• First Fridays: Father James Rafferty will be celebrating Mass at noon on First Fridays at St. Mary's in Rockwood. Father hears confessions before Mass, as his schedule allows.
