The Oratory, in addition to running the parish, and working in local schools, also runs the St Philip Neri Collegium, preparing young men to enter seminary. When The Oratory first moved to Port Elizabeth, this Collegium was housed at the Diocesan Centre in the old Nazareth House building, but a decision was taken in 2005 to accommodate the students at The Oratory in the old convent building. Due to restricted space, a new wing is being built behind St Anne’s Pre-School (visible from Villiers Road). Construction began in early 2009 and is expected to be completed in mid-2010. The new wing will accommodate six of the nine Oratorians and has rooms that are suitably sized and designed for working priests.
