Responding to the call of the Spirit, some Oblates identify themselves with the poor, sharing their life and commitment to justice; others are present where decisions affecting the future of the poor are being made.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
In each case, a serious discernment in the light of ecclesiastical directives will be made and the Oblates concerned will receive their mission for this ministry from their Superiors.<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cOur conviction that evangelization is not the work of lone rangers but is a community effort of the Oblates and the entire Christian community is grounded in the Gospel and our missionary practice.
