Rediscover Peace in a Complicated World

In a world that grows louder, faster, and more complex each day—where our attention is pulled in every direction and distractions are only a click away—the quiet grace of simplicity may seem out of reach. But it is simplicity that matters most.

The Virtue of Simplicity calls us to pause, to let go of the noise, and to live with hearts unburdened by status, possessions, or worldly success. It invites us to trust fully in God, to walk humbly with others, and to be guided not by ambition, but by love.

This is the way of the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate.

A Life Lived Simply—A Life Lived for Christ

The Missionary Oblates serve in places the world often overlooks—remote villages, underserved cities, and communities marked by poverty and struggle. They go not to be seen, but to see. Not to be honored, but to serve.

Their commitment to simplicity allows them to be fully present.

• Tekakwitha Indian Missions on the White Earth Reservation in Minnesota
  • They walk in friendship with Native American communities, honoring cultural traditions and leading worship in humble chapels.
  • By living simply and offering pastoral care rooted in presence, they stay close to those they serve.
• St. Jude Shrine in the French Quarter of New Orleans
  • They open their doors daily to people experiencing homelessness, providing meals, a place to pray, and compassionate care.

Through these ministries—and countless others—the Missionary Oblates reveal a profound truth: simplicity is not about lacking abundance but rather about making God’s grace tangible through small, daily acts of love.

Your support enables the Missionary Oblates to embody this virtue each day, joining a mission that prioritizes:

• Compassion over comfort
• People over possessions
• Faith over fear

Let’s walk this humble road together—finding Christ in simplicity and sharing His love with the world.
