Institute of St Philipp Neri

The Institute of St. Philipp Neri, is a spiritual Community, in union with the Holy Father and the Archbishop of Berlin, which fosters the traditions of the Catholic Church. Founded in February 2003, it currently has charge of the Church of St Afra, in Berlin.

Building on the basic idea of Philipp Neri's oratory the Institute works against the evident decline of the faith and the increasingly growing incompatible polarization towards differing, internal-ecclesiastical directions of thought. Its primary apostolate is to celebrate the liturgy in its traditional form combined with present-day pastoral work.

On the 25th of May 2004 the Institute was officially recognized by the Holy See as a community of Apostolic Life under papal law.
