The international Oblate Congress originally for scheduled for November of 2021 has been rescheduled again for September 9-16, 2023. Presumably the pandemic will be over by that time. This rescheduling was announced on December 1 by Abbot Primate Gregory Polan, O.S.B. In his letter to superiors of monasteries, Abbot Primate Gregory said, “We count on your usual collaboration for the success of this important event, which we are working on together with the International Team of Benedictine Oblates.” Four Oblates affiliated with Saint Vincent Archabbey have already expressed interest. For more information you may contact the website for the congress or our Father Benoit Allogia, O.S.B., who has been coordinating plans for the congress.
