Religious Congregations That Use "Oblate" in Their Name
There are several religious orders (i.e., living the consecrated life according to Church Law) that use the word "Oblate" in their name, or in an extended version of their common name. These are not oblates like the oblates (secular) and (regular), and should not be confused with them.
Examples include the:
- Oblates of St. Francis de Sales
- Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate
- Oblates of the Virgin Mary
- Oblates of St Frances of Rome (founded 1433 in Italy, as a community of professed oblates living in common)
- Oblate Sisters of Providence

Famous quotes containing the words their name and/or religious:
“... for the motives of acts
Are rarely the same
As their name, as their name....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“... the generation of the 20’s was truly secular in that it still knew its theology and its varieties of religious experience. We are post-secular, inventing new faiths, without any sense of organizing truths. The truths we accept are so multiple that honesty becomes little more than a strategy by which you manage your tendencies toward duplicity.”
—Ann Douglas (b. 1942)
