Happy 500th Birthday St. Philip Neri

I saw that my friend Greg DiPippo at NLM posted that today is the 500th Birthday of one of my great patrons, St. Philip Neri.  I was ordained on his feast in 1991.

I have a 1st class relic of this great saint for my altar.

Perhaps you would be good enough to say a prayer for those new communities of the Oratory who have sprung up.  They seem to be on the right track.

UPDATE:

Someone sent me a photo of a cake made for Pippo!
