Oblates
Make Their Promises
At
Vespers with our Community on October 10, 2020, Marc
Porter and Lena Jositas made their final oblation as Oblates of
St. Benedict Monastery, marking the completion of
their year-long oblate novitiate. Our Prior Fr.
Damien accepted Marc and
Lena’s oblation in the brief but meaningful
ceremony. Due to “social distancing” those
attending the ceremony were limited
to their immediate family and the members of the
monastic community.A Benedictine Oblate is a lay person, male or female, married or single, who promises to live the Rule of St. Benedict according to their state in life, while living in the world.

All at St. Benedict Monastery congratulate Marc and Lena and pray for the guidance of the Holy Spirit as they walk this new path following Christ through the teaching of St. Benedict.
