The St. Placid Harrisburg Deanery of Oblates meet at St. Paul’s on 4th Sundays.
All meetings begin at 3 P.M.
Oblates of St. Benedict are Christian men and women who choose to associate themselves
with a Benedictine religious community in order to strengthen their baptismal commitment
and enrich their Christian way of life.
Oblates do not take vows or live in a monastery. They continue to live in the world
while they strive eagerly to live out the values of the Gospel.
Oblates promise to live according to the values expressed in the Rule of St. Benedict,
which was written in the spirit of the Gospel and which has been handed down through
centuries of committed Christian life, along with traditions that developed it.
The way of life as set down by St. Benedict in his Rule offers a set of Christian
ideals which are sufficiently flexible, adaptable and moderate so that no one need
be dismayed or discouraged at failure to achieve the heights of holiness all at
once.
