Testimonials
From my childhood I knew I was drawn to consecrated life. I said to my mom, "Someday I will found a community without the veil." I thought that the Blessed Virgin did not go to a convent. I received a propaganda leaflet on the Secular Institute of Oblate Missionaries of Mary Immaculate, women who live consecration in the midst of the world. The spirituality fascinated me. I had always wanted to go to the missions. What a joy it was when I was chosen! After several years in foreign countries, I came back and it is still the love of Christ and the service of neighbor that dwell within me.
Thank you to the Institute for allowing me to fulfill my vocation and which continues to do so.
