Oblates of Saint Benedict

The Oblates of Saint Benedict are laypeople who choose to integrate the spiritual principles of Benedictine monastic life into their everyday activities. They commit to living according to Benedictine values—such as community, prayer, stability, and balance—while remaining active in their family, work, and social lives. Oblates do not live in monasteries; instead, they seek to deepen their faith and character by incorporating monastic virtues into their daily routines, fostering a sense of spiritual discipline and rootedness while contributing positively to society.
