"A Call To Stand By God's Poor"

The OMI ways of responding to the most urgent needs of people are attempts to enflesh the liberating presence of Jesus today:

Many Oblates are in parishes administering the sacraments and accompanying our people in Basic Ecclesial Communities.

Others are living and working with Manobos and Tirurays in the highlands of Cotabato.

Some Oblates initiate cooperatives among farmers and fishermen in far-flung islands in Sulu and Tawi-Tawi.  They live out the Gospel of love, simplicity, and dependence on God.

Other Oblates spread the Good News through radio stations and prints.

Oblates help fulfill young people's dreams through education in Notre Dame Schools all over Mindanao.

Some help the Church rekindle the Faith of people through devotion to our Blessed Mother at the Lourdes Shrine in Tamontaka.  Others through retreats, especially for young students and professionals.

And to respond more fully to the challenge of Eugene de Mazenod "To Leave Nothing Undared" in bringing people into the saving embrace of Christ the Savior, Filipino Oblates have crossed the oceans to enflesh the presence of Jesus in Thailand, Argentina, Japan, Canada and the United States.
