“Come and I will show you who you are in the eyes of God”

These words come from the first recorded sermon of Eugene de Mazenod as a young priest as he began his ministry to the most abandoned in Aix-en-Provence. They sum up his whole life as Founder of the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate, Bishop of Marseilles, and his continuing ministry to us today in the communion of saints.

You can accept his invitation as you learn about him in this online course: “Eugene de Mazenod 101” (in English) or “Eugenio de Mazenod 101” (in Spanish) presented by the Kusenberger Chair of Oblate Studies at Oblate School of Theology in San Antonio.
