During the half an hour lunch break there are those who run to the hairdresser, or those who go to the park.  There are those who take the dog for a walk or have something to eat and those who choose to go to mass. On weekdays the celebration of the liturgy takes place in Central Rome at the Church of St. Francis Xavier at 1:40 pm.

Lawyers, clerks, professionals and students come searching for spiritual food. Fr. Massimo Nevola SJ, Superior of the Community of St. Ignatius came up with the idea: "This idea came to me 35 years ago, the first time I was in the United States. I had noticed that Mass was being celebrated at 12:30 at St. Patrick's Cathedral". It only took 25 minutes.  At the Caravita Oratory, there is now space for quiet listening to the Word with a presentation of some points on how to put it into practice.  A confessor is also available.
