The programs of priestly and religious formation differ in the Oblates of St. Joseph. However, they do share many common elements. Let's explore the typical formation experience of both a candidate for the priesthood and a candidate for religious profession without holy orders, by selecting from the list below. Please note that the formation program presented is that of the Our Lady of Sorrows Province only, and other provinces and delegations may (and many do) have a different approach.

• Formation for the Priesthood
• Formation for the Brotherhood
• The Four Pillars
• A Two-Sided Coin
• Always, St. Joseph
