Our Mission

"We, the Missionary Oblates of Colombo Province ‘as men of Advent’, commit ourselves to journeying together interdependently as apostolic and prophetic communities among the most abandoned to promote the Reign of God and the integrity of creation in collaboration with the people of God."

Our Charism & Heritage

Radical Gift of Self

Our very identity is defined by Oblation. We belong entirely to God and to the brothers and sisters we serve.

Specialists in Difficult Missions

Called to go where others may not go, finding our path to holiness in the most challenging peripheries.

United in Community

A brotherhood strengthening one another in faith and charity, striving to build up the family of God’s children.

Under the Gaze of Mary

She is our Mother, our Patroness, and our Model. We contemplate her as the "Mother of the Mission."

A 175-Year Legacy

A glorious history of missionaries dedicated to the Immaculate Mother, continuing an unbroken chain of apostolic zeal in Sri Lanka since 1847.

St. Eugene de Mazenod
(1782–1861)

Rejecting a life of wealth and prestige, St. Eugene de Mazenod dedicated his life to becoming the servant and priest of the poor. Driven by a heart as big as the world, he gathered a community of zealous missionaries in 1816 to bring the light of Christ to the most abandoned.
