OMV PRIESTS AND BROTHERS

Companions on Your Spiritual Journey

The Oblates of the Virgin Mary (OMV) are a Catholic congregation of priests and brothers founded in 1826 by Venerable Bruno Lanteri. Our mission is to foster spiritual renewal by accompanying you on your journey, helping you deepen your relationship with Jesus Christ through our ministries.

SUPPORT THE ANNUAL FUND

Raise Up Our Men of Prayer

Behind every Man of Prayer is a community that believed in his vocation. Your gift to the Annual Fund fuels seminarian formation, expands our reach to more souls, and sustains the ministries that make it all possible.

200 YEARS OF THE OBLATES OF THE VIRGIN MARY

A Blessing from the Holy Father

This year marks the 200th anniversary of the Oblates of the Virgin Mary, and Pope Leo XIV has sent us a very special gift to mark the occasion: an Apostolic Blessing.

We are deeply grateful for this honor, and we invite you to celebrate this milestone with us. Two hundred years of forming priests, walking with families, and drawing souls closer to God, made possible by the prayers and generosity of friends like you.

ALL SOULS DAY NOVENA

Remember Your Loved Ones in Prayer

This November, the Oblates will offer Masses for the repose of the souls of your departed family members and friends. Beginning on All Souls Day, their names will be lifted up at St. Clement Eucharistic Shrine. Every Mass is live streamed, so you can pray along from wherever you are.

We will welcome Fr. Mark Yavarone, OMV, for a two-day retreat at St. Clement Eucharistic Shrine on St. Ignatius’ rules for navigating the ups and downs of the spiritual life. Join us November 7–8 in Boston. All are welcome!
