The Oblate
Missionaries of Mary Immaculate

Charism

A constant availability to the will of the Father to live everywhere the charity of Christ through service, with the help of Mary.

The charism is what distinguishes the Institute from other Secular institutes. It defines the way of being in the world. It is a spiritual dynamism that enables it to realize the mission and to participate in the mission of the Church in the world.

Availability to do the Father's will, unconditional and universal love of neighbour, unselfish service to others and devotion to Mary are the key elements that inspire the Oblates as they carry out their mission.

Mission

Following Christ to witness the unconditional love of God the Father through the attitudes of life.

The mission commits the Oblate to be a responsible Christian presence in the world, to exercise a transforming action within temporal realities in order to make them more just and more humane.

Spirituality

Centered on the charity of Christ, the spirituality of the Institute is lived out in concrete ways through a formula called the "5-5-5".
