Oblate Ongoing Formation: Listening to the Rule
Open Dates
Oblates of St. Paul’s Monastery (and their guests) gather on the 2nd Tuesday of each month (unless rescheduled). This is an opportunity to be together as an Oblate community, but also to spend intentional time in prayer, lectio, and study – all pillars of what it means to be Benedictine.
These monthly sessions are also meant to be an opportunity for Oblates to invite guests to join them at the Monastery. This can be one way of introducing others to the Monastery and to the Rule of Benedict and, maybe even the possibility of becoming an Oblate! If you are bringing a guest, you must register them if they are coming for dinner. The cost of dinner is each Oblate’s (and guest’s) responsibility.
These sessions are offered both in-person and available via Zoom.
