Mission
The Oblate Sisters strive to attain union with God by offering our lives for the diocesan priesthood. Our special charism is both spiritual and ministerial. The sisters are called first to pray for priestly holiness and to offer the joys and sorrows of our lives for the good of priests.
The sisters care for retired and convalescent priests and collaborate with them in parish apostolates - which includes teaching, directing religious education, hospital visitation and distribution of the Eucharist to the homebound.
