Oblates of Wisdom Establishes House in St. Louis

The Society of the Oblates of Wisdom has established a house in St. Louis at St. Mary of Victories Church in South St. Louis.

Msgr. John F. McCarthy, director general of the society, said the move came at the invitation of Archbishop Raymond L. Burke and with the welcome of Father Paul Spielman, chaplain of the Hungarian Catholic community at St. Mary of Victories.

The Society of the Oblates of Wisdom is a public association of priests from the Diocese of La Crosse, Wis., for service there and in other dioceses...

The study center will serve as a pre-theology residence where candidates for the priesthood with a college degree will study philosophy, preparatory theology and classical languages in preparation for entry into a theological seminary...
In their theological orientation, Oblates of Wisdom are anti-Modernist and place a marked constructive emphasis on fidelity to the Church's Magisterium. Their spirituality is strongly traditional and is based on their consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus through the Immaculate Heart of Mary. (Link)
