The Spirit is calling us to walk together with new energy, hope, and courage. United in the charism of St. Eugene, we dream of a future where Oblate Laity and vowed Oblates journey as one family in mission.
From 3–10 August 2025, delegates from across the five Oblate Regions gathered at the Oblate Foundation House in Aix-en-Provence for the International Lay Associations Congress, Charting New Paths for Oblate Laity. This Congress was inspired by the call of the Holy Spirit expressed through the 2nd Oblate Lay Associations Congress (2OLAC22) and by the Mandates and Recommendations of the 37th General Chapter. It was another step in a shared journey—one where Oblate Laity and vowed Oblates walk side by side, bringing the Chapter’s vision for Oblate Laity to life in concrete and meaningful ways.
