Celebrate the Bond Between Siblings Through Spiritual Enrollment

Siblings are a precious gift from God—a relationship defined by love, guidance, and faith. The Bible offers countless stories showcasing the unique strength and unity shared by siblings, from Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, who led the Israelites toward freedom, to Mary and Martha, who hosted Jesus and witnessed His teachings. These connections deepen faith and strengthen family ties, reminding us of the divine purpose siblings can serve in our lives.

Bishop Michael David Pfeifer, OMI and the late Rev. Francis Theodore Pfeifer, OMI, beautifully demonstrate this sacred bond through their shared commitment to serving others and advancing their faith. Growing up in Alamo, Texas, Bishop Pfeifer and Rev. Pfeifer faced the hardships of farm life and periods of poverty, experiences that shaped their resilience and devotion. Bishop Pfeifer’s role as Bishop of San Angelo reflects his steadfast dedication to guiding the spiritual lives of others, while Rev. Pfeifer’s extraordinary missionary work in Mexico with the Oblates of Mary Immaculate highlights his unwavering commitment to the poor and abandoned. Despite challenges, including surviving an assassination attempt, Rev. Pfeifer remained faithful to his calling. His legacy, memorialized by the unveiling of a sculpture in his honor, continues to inspire faith and compassion.

The Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate embody the values championed by Bishop Pfeifer and Rev. Pfeifer through their mission to serve the world’s most abandoned communities. By enrolling your sibling in Spiritual Enrollment, you can honor their faith while also supporting the Oblates. This spiritual act reflects the biblical model of siblings united in love, faith, and service, fostering a shared purpose that uplifts not only families but also the broader community. Just as Bishop Pfeifer and Rev. Pfeifer inspire through their lives, such gestures of faith and devotion can bring hope and unity to the world.
