Oblates of St. Benedict

What is an Oblate?

Oblates of St. Benedict are Christian men and women in all walks of life who associate themselves with a Benedictine community to enrich their Christian way of life. They desire to share the apostolic work and prayer of the community in order to spread the spirit of St. Benedict.

Oblates seek God by striving to become holy in their own chosen way of life. Integrating their prayer and work, they manifest Christ's presence in society.

Oblates do not take on new religious practices. They simply promise to deepen their faith and to lead enriched Christian lives according to the Rule of St. Benedict. The spirituality of St. Benedict is so flexible that it can be adapted to the life of anyone seriously seeking God and desiring to live the Gospel message.

Through association with our Benedictine community, Oblates receive help and guidance in living a full Christian life. The Oblates are offered guidance and enrichment through newsletters, prayer reflections, and personal guidance.
