“….Oblate School of Theology has remained solidly rooted in its original mission. It is still concerned with reaching out in a special way to the poor; it is still concerned about creating new church life and not just in sustaining what is; it is still concerned about who is falling through the cracks in our society; and it is still concerned with giving witness to simplicity of life. The words that undergird the charism of the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate also undergird the ethos of the Oblate School of Theology: We are missionaries for the poor, particularly sensitive to the struggles of those who are being excluded, all the while trying to witness to simplicity of life.” Ron Rolheiser, OMI, President |
