Purpose of this Website
In South America, the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales are
present in the Uruguayan capital Montevideo with parish and school
ministry (www.colegiomariano.edu.uy)
They serve in Brazil in the most Southern State, Rio
Grande do Sul, with parish ministry in Braga, Jaboticaba, Novo
Barreiro, Palmeira das Missões and Viamão and also with
a hospital chaplaincy in Porto Alegre. In the North-Western Brazilian
State Bahia they are involved with parish ministry in Saúde
and Pindobaçu.
In Equador the Oblates are present almost right on the equator at
the Pacific coast, that is to say, in Manta, the biggest fisherharbor
of the country, where people are served with parish ministry and a
formation house.
With this website and its articles and graphics, the Oblates hope
that you will become familiar with the admirable and highly
up-to-date, gentle and always attractive personality of St. Francis
de Sales, Bishop and Spiritual Leader.
It is hoped that you will follow his example and live
Jesus in your heart and everyday life. Feel free to contact the
Oblates for more information and to inquire about joining our
community.
