  • Insurance Company Information

  • Policy Holder's Information

  • This waiver is to certify that I, the above named student, am waiving coverage of the health insurance plan offered to me by the Oblate School of Theology. In addition, because I am waiving the CHP health insurance, I am guaranteeing that I will instead be covered by an independent health insurance plan which I will arrange myself.

Hoping does not mean doing nothing.

It is not fatalistic resignation. It means going about our assigned tasks, confident that God will provide the meaning and the conclusions.
