All over the world, Old Orielenses celebrate this day,

our College Feast Day. For, although as a College, Oriel is known as Oriel, its correct Title is that found above,

“The House of Mary, The Blessed Virgin in Oxford”.

Rejoice on The Purification of The Blessed Virgin.
Rejoice at The Presentation of The Child Jesus in The Temple.
Rejoice on the great Feast Day.

And may The Blessed and Most Holy Virgin Mary,

Protectress and Co-Redemptrix,
guard our Holy Church from all the wiles of Satan,

may she stand victorious

with Saint Michael and all The Angels and Saints.

Amen.
