Cultural heritage

“Never had I heard a Mass such as that one […] The sunlight bathed the wooden table where the priest, poorly adorned, was officiating; while in the choir, without railings, the others sang, hugging the walls so as not to fall forwards […]”. That was how an overwhelmed Joan Maragall described the state that the flames and pillaging had left the oratory in after the ‘Tragic Week’ of 1909.
The Neo-Baroque church belonged to the community founded by Saint Philip Neri, home clerics and laymen alike, bonded only by love and charity.
