Oblates of St. Benedict are women and men, single or married, who seek a deeper relationship with God through association with a Benedictine Community. They follow the Rule of St. Benedict, a time-proven guide to a spiritual way of life, as it applies to their own lives.

Oblates do not take on new religious practices. They simply promise to deepen their faith and lead enriched lives according to the Gospel as it is reflected in the Rule of St. Benedict.
