150th Anniversary Celebrations in Troyes, France

The weekend of October 3 to October 5, was very special for the Oblates from around the world. Many of us gathered in Troyes, France (where Fr. Louis Brisson and Mother Mary de Sales Chappuis founded the Oblates). This city is two hours from Paris.

There were festivities all weekend for our brother Oblates from five continents! The North American Provinces are sending Oblate Fathers Bill Davis, Joseph Chorpenning, Michael Murray, Brother Dan Wisniewski, Deacon Jonathan Dick, and Seminarians Bill Grebe and Matt Trovato. Please keep all the Oblates in your prayers during this special celebration for us.

Recordings of the celebrations can be found below.
