Oblates of St. Benedict

The Oblates of St. Benedict are laypeople who choose to affiliate with a Benedictine monastery, committing to live according to the Rule of St. Benedict in their daily lives. They maintain their regular work and family responsibilities but dedicate themselves to prayer, spiritual growth, and living out Benedictine values such as community, humility, and service. Oblates seek to deepen their relationship with God while remaining active in the world, often participating in the monastery's spiritual life and activities to support their faith journey.
