What a ORATORY?
This may seem like a silly question, but in reality the answer to no n is by no means unique. For some, the oratory is a place where you can entertain the kids with the more traditional uncle tional games, " the important thing is that they are not street " for someone else is the spot where and do some catechesis and liturgy is celebrated, "because oratory place means you do please " for others ... "is something more complex. In fact, the oratory can not be reduced either to the game room or to catechism class, but obviously it is something more. What? Definitely an educational environment. It may seem expression and reductive, but these two words express the essence oratory. 
The oratory is an educational environment and wanted to invent Don Bosco. He wanted a house that upheld, that to evangelize and educate for life in its most varied aspects: culture, theater, music, sport and leisure. Open spaces, meeting places and entertainment venues church, school, theaters, ... particularly young people, many young people. They are young, in fact underlying the oratory and dimensioned according to their joy. When they came to Don Bosco for the club that he was trying to make his first oratorio, the owners were convinced that he wanted to do " a laboratory for his boys the . He immediately corrected it with the phrase " not a laboratory, but a ORATORY ! "
Thus was born the first church in modern history. Personally I say that this Inadvertent of names was in a sense "guessed" because the speakers of today are very close to the idea of \u200b\u200bbeing " laboratories" of proposals that are good for the life of faith and growth of a boy. Through various experiences of the proposal, the oratory became truly the " laboratory" where they put together the ingredients for the global growth of a boy. A person needs to grow space, time and experience; needs of people with which to measure peers, and adults from which to take a starting point needs to prove himself, to realize its potential.
