The Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate is a missionary congregation of priests and brothers founded in France by St. Eugene De Mazenod in 1816.
Today the Oblates number more than 4,000 with missions on all continents of the world, except Antartica.
Oblates come together in apostolic communities united to God by the religious vows. Cooperating with the Savior and imitating his example, they commit themselves principally to evangelization among the poor.
Their mission requires that, in a radical way, they follow Jesus who was chaste and poor and who redeemed mankind by his obedience. That is why, through a gift of the Father, they choose the way of the evangelical counsels of Chastity, Poverty and Obedience.
