In his will, St. Eugene de Mazenod, the founder of the Missionary Oblate of Mary Immaculate, wrote: “To this end, I invoke the intercession of the Most Holy and Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of God, daring to remind her in all humility, but with consolation, of the filial devotion of my whole life, and of the desire I have always had to make her known and loved, and to spread her devotion everywhere through the ministry of those whom the Church has given to me as children, who have had the same desire as myself…”

Please join us, the Oblates, this weekend in your prayers as we celebrate our patronal feast day.
