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.
