Our mission is similar
to that of all secular institutes. It commits us to a responsible presence
and to a transforming action within the temporal realities to make them
more just and more human.
As Oblates, this mission specifically
invites us, like Christ, to manifest the unconditional love of God the
Father to everyone by revealing the signs of His presence at the heart
of daily life.
We live this commitment in
different milieus, through a trade or a profession of our choice, and
by sharing the concerns common to all.

Our charism defines our way
of being in the world. It is a spiritual dynamism that enables us to realize
our mission and therefore to participate in the mission of the Church
in the world.
The charism is what distinguishes
us from other secular institutes. It invites us to a constant availability
to the will of the Father to live everywhere the charity of Christ through
service, with the help of Mary.
Availability to the Fathers
will, unconditional and universal love of neighbour, unselfish service
to others and devotion to Mary are the components that continually inspire
each Oblate as she carries out her mission.
