After the missions, the most important work of our Congregation is undoubtedly the direction of seminaries, in which clerics receive their own special training. For it is in these seminaries, in the seclusion of God’s house, and under the protection of the Most Holy and Immaculate Virgin Mary, that formation is given to those who are to teach sound doctrine to the people, and to guide them along the way of salvation. ... So far as we are able, we shall courageously devote ourselves, with all our mind and heart, to this undertaking, which is so sacred and of such great importance.—Art. 48
Constitutions and Rules of the Congregation of the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate
