Nearly three years later the group realized that God was calling them to become religious. This meant that our Oblate identity was now first of all as consecrated religious \u2013 which made it possible for men who chose not to be priests to be missionaries. Each would bring his talents and abilities to the service of the mission in a complementary way. The history of the ministry of the Oblate Brothers throughout the world makes for inspiring reading.<\/h3>\n<h3>In 1818 the Holy Spirit led the initial Oblate Family of priests to expand to include those who were not priests to be members. Since then, the Holy Spirit has led the Church to understand that the call to holiness is universal (Vatican II <em>Lumen Gentium<\/em> n. 5) and not the exclusively limited to the \u201ccall to perfection\u201d of priests and religious.<\/h3>\n<h3>Thus, over the years, lay persons have experienced the call to live the charism of St. Eugene together with the Oblate religious \u2013 each group having complementary responsibilities.<\/h3>\n<h3>This leads to the question: \u201cHow do you see your responsibilities in evangelizing where you are and in whatever situation you find yourself.?\u201d<\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">*********<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6093 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eugenedemazenod.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/C7-picture-1024x847.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"529\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eugenedemazenod.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/C7-picture-1024x847.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.eugenedemazenod.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/C7-picture-300x248.png 300w, https:\/\/www.eugenedemazenod.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/C7-picture-768x635.png 768w, https:\/\/www.eugenedemazenod.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/C7-picture-1536x1270.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.eugenedemazenod.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/C7-picture.png 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As priests and Brothers, we have complementary responsibilities in evangelizing.
