Meet Some Oblate Associates
Mark and Darcie Lich

As we strive to live our lives in a manner faithful to our baptismal call, we have found companionship and love among those who have dedicated their own lives to doing the same according to the charism of Eugene de Mazenod. We truly believe that, with God’s help, we can create a society in which justice, peace, love, and forgiveness are commonplace.

Our children, like us, have a special love for the Oblates, having been attracted by their love, warmth, and hospitality. We often find ourselves overwhelmed with gratitude as we watch them visit with their Oblate friends, for they truly have found themselves at home among the members of the community.

We consider ourselves abundantly blessed by the Oblates of Mary Immaculate. Our hope, as a family, is to instil in others the hope and love inspired in us by the charism of St. Eugene; and we pray that, with God’s grace, we are able to do so in the company of others who are driven by that same charism.
