Edition 2025 — Saint Philip Neri – Chiesa Nuova

In 2025, the Solemnity of Saint Philip Neri at Chiesa Nuova celebrated the co-patron of Rome with the same rich calendar: the nocturnal Pilgrimage of the Seven Churches on May 15th, the evening novena at the Saint's tomb starting May 17th, and the solemn celebrations on May 25th and 26th in the Basilica of Santa Maria in Vallicella, in the heart of Rome's historic center.

The 2025 edition followed the usual Oratorian tradition. Celebrations opened on May 15th with the Pilgrimage of the Seven Churches, the nocturnal pilgrimage in the footsteps of Saint Philip Neri. From Sunday, May 17th, every evening at 7:00 PM, Holy Mass and novena prayer were held at the Saint's tomb. On May 25th, during the solemn 7:00 PM Mass celebrated by the Father Provost of the Congregation of the Oratory, the new votive painting dedicated to Saint John Henry Newman was blessed. On May 26th, the liturgical memorial of the Saint, solemn Masses followed with the tribute of the Capitoline Authorities and the opening of the famous rooms of Saint Philip.
