The mission of the Pharr Oratory of St. Philip Neri School System is to promote the formation of Christian character, Catholic lay leadership, Christian fellowship and community service by integrating the gospel message with a liberal arts educational program in the spirit of joy of St. Philip Neri.

With the above declarations serving as foundational principles, which must always pervade the entire educational program, we, the founding fathers, are compelled in conscience to found a Catholic bicultural-bilingual school under the auspices of the Fathers of the Oratory of St. Philip Neri.
Every Oratory student believes the Gospel message and lives it by making a difference in the world, as each student journeys to his/her ultimate end, heaven.
