Religious Congregations That Use "Oblate" in Their Name
There are several religious orders (i.e., living the consecrated life according to Church Law) that use the word "Oblate" in their name, or in an extended version of their common name. These are not oblates like the oblates (secular) and (regular), and should not be confused with them.
Examples include the:
- Oblates of St. Francis de Sales
- Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate
- Oblates of the Virgin Mary
- Oblates of St Frances of Rome (founded 1433 in Italy, as a community of professed oblates living in common)
- Oblate Sisters of Providence

Are rarely the same
As their name, as their name....”
