Guidance for Your Spiritual Journey
No matter where you are on the path to the Lord, we’re here to help. We guide men and women hoping to experience the joy of encountering the Lord through the Scriptures. By offering spiritual direction and retreats, the Oblates help people hear and respond to the movement of the Holy Spirit in their lives.
Hope
Oblates look to Mary with devotion as a sign of hope to all believers. With models of Jesus and Mary, we help people make a new start in their lives, trusting in God’s mercy and love.
Our Mission
“Always treat everyone, especially the most needy, with the utmost gentleness and kindness.”
Healing
In addition to teaching people to pray with the Word of God, the Oblates lead souls to a deeper experience of the Lord’s healing love in the sacraments. By offering spiritual direction and retreats, the Oblates help people hear and respond to the movement of the Holy Spirit in their lives.
