Oblates live in the world, have jobs and spouses, wear regular clothes, and live according to the Rule of Saint Benedict as their state in life allows. Oblates attend monthly oblate-program classes (first Sunday of every month) and other events at the abbey for oblates. The oblate program is led by and the oblate class is taught by Abbot Isaac. It takes a year of being an oblate novice before one is able to become an oblate of Saint Leo Abbey. The formal ceremony to become an oblate is held once a year in the abbey church on the Feast of Saint Benedict, March 21.

1500 years later and the Rule of Benedict continues to take us to school. Its simple approach to reach the goal of living the Gospel gives a foundation for the life of a community or an individual monk or oblate. Tomorrow’s Epiphany is our first oblate Sunday of 2026. Pray for our oblates and feel free to join us. Rule class is after Mass, follow the crowd to the 3rd floor Lake Room.
