"Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy." - St. Francis of Assisi

The Oblates to the Blessed Trinity is a religious community of women who have consecrated their lives to the Blessed Trinity. The Oblates offer themselves as a holocaust to the Blessed Trinity: The Father, Son and Holy Spirit through a life of adoration, reparation and apostolic works- through prayer, sacrifice and love- through the vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. The special charism of the Oblates to the Blessed Trinity is accented in the motto “Deus Charitas” which means “God is Love.” The Sisters make every effort to live the Trinitarian Love that unites the three Persons of the Blessed Trinity. To be an Oblate means to offer oneself totally to the Triune God in the way Christ offered himself as a victim for the salvation of mankind. This life is one of the loving service to God and to his People, in imitation of the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, who came “to serve and not to be served.” The Oblates live a life designed for the greater honor and glory of God.
