Oblates

There is a great desire for people to feel they belong and to seek for places which offer this, and stability in a changing world. All Hallows Community has a core of Sisters vowed to live the 3-fold vow in Community - a stable core which has existed for over 150 years.

In the 1990s, some felt a call to a close connection with the Community but were unable to become professed members. In a desire to fulfil a part in, and contribute to the life of the Sisters they became part of the extended family. They take promises yearly, live under the rule adapted to their home and work circumstances, share in the worship and daily Offices and often give valuable service to the Community.

The sisters value the Oblates' commitment, their strong prayer life and their individual personalities. All saints are so varied, and so are our Oblates, and we are very grateful for their dedication, which reinforces our own.

To become an Oblate write to or e-mail the Joint Leaders. After several visits to the Community involving discussions and prayer with the Joint Leaders and the Oblate Sister an enquirer will spend at least a year testing this call from God.
