Meet Some Oblate Associates
Suzanne Massie Manchevsky
“Being an Oblate Associate means being in fellowship with a worldwide apostolic faith family of vowed and lay persons who share the charism of our founder, St Eugene de Mazenod: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor” (Lk 4:18). We are cooperators in the work of Jesus. Each of us are involved in different forms of mission, and we are all strengthened and enriched by our membership in the Oblate community. We all share a desire to live our faith more deeply, to reach out to those most in need, to work for social justice and for responsible stewardship of the earth and we pray together and for each other. What a life-giving blessing!”
