Becoming an Oblate
Oblates are lay people or priests who wish to live according to the spirit of the Rule of St. Benedict, which contains a wealth of spiritual teaching which can guide any Christian in the way of the Gospel.
By their oblation, they give themselves to the Lord, by a bond to our monastic family and by committing themselves to follow the spirit of the Rule in their daily life.
