Invitation to take part in Novena for Oblate Vocations, May 21-29 2022 With OMI Vocations in USA, Canada and Ireland, UK, and Denmark
It has become a tradition that the Oblate family unite in prayer for vocations during the Oblate Novena Prayer beginning on May 21, the feast of St. Eugene de Mazenod, through May 29. This year, we are proposing a novena prayer with Mary Immaculate, in commemoration of the 200 years of the experience of the Founder before the Oblate Madonna, on August 15, 1822. During the last three days of the novena prayer, we will also remember in our prayers the 2nd Oblate Lay Associations Congress.
The Vocation ministries of OMI Lacombe Canada, the US Province and Anglo-Irish Province would like to invite you to come together to pray for vocations. We’ll be posting every day a short video reflection on our social media. Oblates and Oblate Associates are also invited to gather virtually on ZOOM every day of the Novena at 3:00pm Eastern Time, that’s 8:00pm in Ireland and the UK, and 9pm in Denmark, to get to know each other and pray together.
You are invited to join us in prayer!
The Prayer portion of the gathering will be streamed LIVE on respected Facebook Page for the public:

May 23, 26, 29: OMI Vocations – England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland & Denmark https://www.facebook.com/OMI-Vocation…
Let’s unite in prayer and boldly ask for new vocations to the Oblate religious life and priesthood. Let’s “leave nothing undared”!
