<\/a>O Saint Eugene, you touched the poor, and opened wide the mission door.\n<\/em>To gather in through their own voice, the least among the church\u2019s choice.
\n<\/em>And so went forth your blessed charism, to bring God\u2019s children to the Gates of Heaven,
\n<\/em>You called for Brothers to take the cross, and sent them out to seek the lost.
\n<\/em>Across the seas to regions far,
\n<\/em>they spread the Faith under heaven\u2019s stars.
\n<\/em>By voyager canoe midst snow and storm,
\n<\/em>His Redeeming Sacraments to perform.
\n<\/em>Through Bountiful prairies they journeyed on, giving praise to Thee with Holy songs.
\n<\/em>Toward crowning auroras their preaching turned,
\n<\/em>His Divine Providence to discern.
\n<\/em>Over mountain ranges by His Pure Light, their spirits sought His lofty heights.
\n<\/em>Then to coastal forests by heat of day, they struggled on to reveal His Way.
\n<\/em>As Mary Immaculate sons they came, the Word of God to proclaim.
\n<\/em>Dear Brother Oblates, bless you all, as we your Triennium now recall.
\n<\/em>Glory Be to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
\n<\/em>For through Your Love they keep us close.<\/em><\/p>\n
