As we gear up to celebrate the monumental 200th anniversary of our cherished Constitutions and Rules, the Roman International Scholasticate community (IRS) is organizing an event, virtually via Zoom, that will bring together all the Oblates in First Formation, on February 16th, 2024, at 15:00 CET/Rome time, promising nothing short of a profoundly enriching and transformative experience.

Get ready for an exhilarating journey into the mystery of Apostolic Community as the Normal Place for First Formation!

As we gear up to celebrate the monumental 200th anniversary of our cherished Constitutions and Rules, we couldn’t be more thrilled to extend a heartfelt invitation to you. Join us for an inspiring sharing session on the theme of “Apostolic Community as the Normal Place for First Formation.” This isn’t just any gathering; it’s a global convergence of Oblates in post-Novitiate houses of formation, all coming together virtually via Zoom on February 16th, 2024, at 15:00 CET/Rome time, promising nothing short of a profoundly enriching and transformative experience.

Expect riveting insights and wisdom from none other than our own expert on the Oblate charism, Fr. Frank SANTUCCI, alongside words of encouragement from Fr. Henricus ASODO, 2nd Assistant General for Formation. But here’s the real magic: as Oblates in first formation, YOU will take center stage, sharing your own unique perspectives and experiences of living out the Constitutions and Rules.

But wait, there’s more! It’s an open invitation to ALL Oblates in first formation. Whether you’re in a post-Novitiate community or charting your journey elsewhere, we invite you to join us for this reflective and profoundly enriching experience. Mark your calendars, spread the word, and get ready to dive deep into the essence of our Oblate mission – see you there!
