This year we celebrate the 400th Anniversary of the canonisation of St Philip Neri. He was canonised with St Isidore the Farmer, St Teresa of Avila, St Ignatius of Loyola, and St Francis Xavier in St Peter’s Basilica by Pope Gregory XV in 1622. Celebrations were held in the universal Church throughout the world as they continue to be held today. To celebrate we held a Sung Votive Mass to St Philip Neri to mark the anniversary on Saturday 12 March followed by exposition of his relic.
