Our Mission

Inspired by the charism of the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate, Oblate School of Theology (OST) educates, forms, and renews men and women to “preach the Gospel to the most abandoned.” OST is a community of scholars and students who respect and celebrate global cultural diversity through various languages, traditions, and backgrounds firmly rooted in Christ.

Our Purpose

The institution prepares persons for pastoral ministry through academic study and supervised practice. Through degree and certificate programs, OST strives to educate and form candidates for priestly ministry as well as lay ministries. Beyond its Master’s level degrees, OST offers both academic and professional doctoral degrees, as well as opportunities for professional continuing education and personal spiritual renewal to those serving in the church, society, and the academy.

The pastoral orientation of the School requires practical and reflective engagement with the multi-cultural, global reality of church and society.
