Oblate School of Theology

Inspired by the charism of the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate, Oblate School of Theology (OST) educates, forms, and renews men and women to “preach the Gospel to the most abandoned.”

OST is a community of over 425 scholars and students who respect and celebrate global cultural diversity through various languages, traditions, and backgrounds firmly rooted in Christ.

Over the next 24 hours, you have the opportunity to create a lasting impact by supporting tuition assistance for our students! This year we have been blessed with a matching gift opportunity thanks to our friends at TDIndustries, which means your donation will be doubled and largely contribute to raising the much-needed tuition assistance funds. 

With students representing over 17 countries, 8 dioceses, 6 religious formation communities, and many more, they need your help in making Oblate School of Theology their educational home. 

Thank you for your consideration and support. We are truly grateful!

Who We Are

Oblate School of Theology, founded and sponsored by the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate in 1903, is a Catholic graduate and professional school which prepares persons for pastoral ministry through academic study and supervised practice. Through degree and certificate programs, the School strives to educate and form candidates for priestly ministry, as well as lay ministries. The School offers opportunities for professional continuing education and personal spiritual renewal to those serving in church and society.

OST models and fosters collaboration in ministry. It accomplishes its mission in cooperation with formation communities and other ecclesial and societal institutions.

The pastoral orientation of the School requires practical and reflective engagement with the multi-cultural, global reality of church and society. Drawing upon its location and historical dedication to the Mexican-American presence in the Southwest, the learning, teaching, and research of the School pay particular attention to the diverse and rich Hispanic reality of the Americas.
