Rev. Mario Alberto Avilés , C.O.
Priest, Director (Principal)

Father Mario was ordained in 1998 and soon joined the school board. Even before he was ordained, Father Mario would volunteer at the Oratory Schools. Besides being the principal at the Oratory Schools, he is also the head priest at the Sacred Heart Church in Hidalgo, while at the same time helping at the St. Jude Thaddeus church. Father Mario can speak four languages and holds a degree in Theology and Philosophy. Father Mario used to teach classes at the Oratory and help in the masses before he became the second principal in our schools history. Father Mario has been an irreplaceable part of the Oratory Schools system and continues to help shape the school into a better place.
