INFO:
\"The Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate (OMI) is a missionary religious congregation in the Catholic Church. It was founded on January 25, 1816, by Saint Eugène de Mazenod, a French priest born in Aix-en-Provence in the south of France on August 1, 1782. The congregation was given recognition by Pope Leo XII on February 17, 1826. The congregation is composed of priests and brothers usually living in community; oblate means a person dedicated to God or God’s service. Their traditional salutation is Laudetur Iesus Christus (\"Praised be Jesus Christ\"), to which the response is Et Maria Immaculata (\"And Mary Immaculate\"). In 2016, there were 3,924 members
The Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate were founded in 1816 in Aix-en-Provence by Eugene de Mazenod. Born into the French minor nobility, his family were forced to flee to Italy during the French Revolution. There he experienced years of family instability, poverty, and danger. The family was forced to flee successively to Turin, Venice, Naples, and Palermo. Returning to France as a young man, he entered the Seminary of St. Sulpice and was ordained in 1811.[2]
On January 25, 1816, Father Eugene de Mazenod and four companions came together to preach missions in Provençal. The first members of this society were known as \"Missionaries of Provence\". They received the title of \"Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate\" and approbation as a congregation under simple vows in a Brief of Leo XII dated 17 February 1826.[3]
The congregation was established to renew the Church in France after the French Revolution. Their focus was primarily to
(1) Revive the spirit of faith among rural and industrial populations by means of missions and retreats, in which devotion to the Sacred Heart and to Mary Immaculate is recommended as a supernatural means of regeneration. \"He hath sent me to preach the Gospel to the poor,\" has been adopted as the device of the congregation.(2) Care of young men\'s societies, Catholic clubs.(3) Formation of clergy in seminaries.[3]However, the work of the congregation soon developed and the charism of the Oblates is that they \"...are not specialised, except in facing urgent needs. ...It was enough for bishops to come to our Founder and say to him: \"I do not have anybody\" for him to act, re-examine his manpower, cut personnel here and there, and release 2 or 3 men for these new needs. And that continues today still. You see, it is a question of passion, of missionary concern.[4]
The ancient sanctuary of St. Martin of Tours was re-excavated and revived by Oblate Fathers under Cardinal Guibert in 1862.\" (WIKI)
