Welcome To De Sales Oblates India
Live Jesus
Founded in Troyes, France, in 1871 by Blessed Louis Brisson, the Oblates of St, Francis de Sales are committed to imitating Jesus Christ in the spirit of St. Francis de Sales. We exist to follow and disseminate the spiritual heritage of our patron St. Francis de Sales. We are guided by the practice of our motto: "LIVE + JESUS" or "to live as Jesus lived", the motto that St. Francis de Sales wanted to inscribe in everyone's heart. Therefore every Oblate strives to make of his life an "Oblatus" or "a complete offering to God".
