Family of St. Joseph

The Oblates of St. Joseph are blessed to work together with so many lay men and women who have also discovered a great love for the spiritual heritage given to the Church through St. Joseph and St. Joseph Marello. Members of our lay family: • Are convinced Catholic Christians faithful to the teachings of the Church; • Strive to serve God in imitation of St. Joseph; • Adopt as their own the particular spirituality of St. Joseph Marello; • Though not professed Oblates or aspirants, form part of the extended spiritual and apostolic family of the Oblates of St. Joseph; • Participate in an official Rite of Enrollment and have received the medal of St. Joseph that has been designated as the official insignia for the members.
