Oblates of the Assumption
Missionary Sisters

“An open Spirit devotes itself to a cause
An open spirit endeavours to reach the heights.
The Mission of the Church is the object of all our zeal.”

Adaptability has always been one of the marks of the Oblates. Having been sent initially to teach and encourage relationships with the Eastern Churches, the Russo-Turkish War of l877 brought in its wake famine and disease. Soon the Oblates were in charge of two hundred war-orphans, besides running hospitals and dispensaries. And so the story continues to this day:  essentially, we mould our work so as to fit the needs of the local Church and the culture in which we find ourselves.

  Sr.Catharine - Bayard Publishing(France) From our earliest days, too, for example there were Sisters who wore a religious habit and some who did not  - if it served the coming of Gods Kingdom we wore a religious habit, if it proved an obstacle to the Kingdom we adapted accordingly – the only value being the Gospel.
