Associates and Oblates



We are aware of a hunger for God in many baptized people of our world today. They yearn for deeper prayer and a spirituality that will enable them to carry the Gospel of Jesus Christ to others. Therefore, we Sisters of St. Mary of Namur, in a spirit of simplicity and joy, wish to invite lay people who have heard this call of God to share our spirituality and to collaborate in the building up of the reign of God. These associates will live our spirituality and mission according to their particular vocation.

Oblates are women who have a distinct vocation within the Congregation, but are financially responsible for themselves. They make perpetual promises of Simplicity of Life, Chastity, and Availability to the Congregation. Oblates participate in the life of the community through prayer and service.
