OBLATES OF SAINT JOSEPH

The Congregation of the Oblates of Saint Joseph is composed of religious priests and brothers who, in faithfulness to the charisms of our Founder, St. Joseph Marello, are called to serve the interests of Jesus like St. Joseph. By virtue of his ordination, the Oblate priest is “at the service of the ecclesial community and to live not for himself but for others” (C 13). Likewise, every Oblate religious brother dedicates himself to “a great variety of apostolic and social services” (C 14). Both priests and brothers, “with equal rights and obligations, with the exception of those which stem from Holy Order” (VC 61), carry out their apostolate according to the Oblate spirit.
