The Oblates of Mary Immaculate in Southern Africa is a Catholic religious community of missionaries comprising approximately 500 men across the region, making it the largest group of Catholic Religious men in Southern Africa. The organization consists of priests and brothers dedicated to spreading God's love to the poor and most abandoned through community life and collaboration with men and women of all faiths. Members engage in various ministries and have historically been called specialists in difficult missions. The community is characterized by its responsiveness to urgent needs of the poor for evangelization and has a tradition of deploying missionaries to areas where bishops indicate a lack of available personnel.
