Oblates of St. Francis de Sales

2009-2010 Associates of the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales

The Associate Program brings college students interested in a religious vocation together with our community to discern through prayer, community, and reflection while remaining at their individual campuses. A number of Associates choose to remain in the program beyond their college graduation, and we welcome their ongoing discernment. We Oblates are proud of the maturity that grounds the faith journeys of our 18 Associates. Collecting photos of them is not easy, but as we do, we invite you to meet them in these brief web profiles.
