OSFS INDIAN MISSION

The Oblates of St. Francis de Sales (also known as DeSales Oblates) were founded in Troyes (France) in 1875 after Sr. Mary de Sales Chappuis VHM had been urging Fr. Brisson for over thirty years to do so. Their spiritual foundation is a small book, the SPIRITUAL DIRECTORY. This book had been given by St. Francis de Sales to the Visitation Sisters, which he founded together with St. Jane de Chantal in 1610. Later Fr. Brisson adapted this book for his Congregation of men, the OSFS.
