In February of
1999, the five Oblate provinces of the United States merged into one.
We are now the "St. Eugene de Mazenod Province," with headquarters in
Washington, DC. Over the more than 150 years that the Oblates have ministered in the United States, there have been several thousand boys and men who have associated with us as Junior Oblates, Pre-Novices, Postulants, Novices, Scholastics, and professed Oblate Brothers and Priests. Our seminaries and formation houses were "home away from home" for these men as they tried to discern and decide whether God was calling them to religious life as Oblates of Mary Immaculate. Many became Oblates and went on to become missionaries in the United States and in such far-off places as South Africa, the Far North of Canada, Brazil, Japan, Laos, Haiti, the Philippines, Denmark, Greenland, Sweden, Norway, Zambia, Columbia, Puerto Rico, and French Polynesia. Some even became bishops and one is a member of the Sacred College of Cardinals. Many others ... the majority in fact ... continued to serve God as the Lay Faithful. They took up every imaginable profession. They have served as cabinet makers and lawyers; as doctors and professors; as counselors and school principals; as coaches and publishers. Most are now "dad" and "grandpa." The purpose of the sites below is to help the hundreds of us who are still living to remember our "Oblate roots" which were planted in those seminary and formation houses from coast to coast. Happy hunting for names that you might remember! Oblates, former Oblates, and other former students of our seminaries are invited to sign in!!
