Study at Oblate School of Theology & Prepare for Ecological Leadership in Ministry January 7th, 2026

Course: Ecological Theology & Christian Stewardship
Professor: Fr. Hector, Kalaluka, OMI

Course Description:

This course explores ecological theology from a Christian perspective, focusing on the relationship between faith, creation, and environmental responsibility. Students will engage with critical Catholic teachings on ecological stewardship, including studying foundational documents such as Laudato Si’ and other papal encyclicals.

Through theological reflection and analysis of contemporary environmental issues, the course will highlight the moral and spiritual dimensions of caring for the earth as part of Christian responsibility. Students will also explore how Catholic social teaching calls for justice, sustainability, and a commitment to the common good in addressing the global ecological crisis.
 
This course will provide students with an opportunity to study Christian eco-theologians such as Teilhard de Chardin, Leonardo Boff, Thomas Berry, Elizabeth Johnson, and Ernst M. Conradie. Conradie’s book Christianity and Ecological Theology will be our primary resource. Lastly, students will prepare themselves to become ecological leaders in their future ecclesial ministries.

OMI Bangladesh Hosts Christmas Celebration for Domestic Migrants December 22nd, 2025

(Contributed by Fr. Valentine Talang, OMI)

A spiritual preparation for the Christmas celebration took place at Modonpur Credit center for domestic migrants, working in different factories. We had a really good program for our migrant brothers and sisters, offering confession and Holy Mass.

The Dhaka Archdiocese invited OMI Bangladesh to provide pastoral care for domestic migrants in the Dhaka-Narayangoan areas. Oblates agreed to lead this new ministry that will work with the migrants, most of whom are Indigenous. OMI Bangladesh is currently searching for someone to oversee this new mission and ministry. The Missionaries of Charity, (Mother Teresa’s Sisters) are cooperating with the Oblates to do this important work. Fr. Ajit Costa, OMI was appointed to look after the domestic migrants and now Fr. Subash Costa, OMI is the newly appointed person. Myself, Fr. Robi, OMI, Fr. Subash Costa, OMI and other Oblates have from time to time supported this new mission.


OMI Bangladesh: Celebrating Holy Mass with our Migrant Community December 11th, 2025

This is a small corridor of a building owned by a Hindu person and a small rented room where a Christian domestic migrant family stays. The property is owned by a Muslin person and it has become the only place to offer Holy Masses for our domestic migrant community.
 
There is no better place than these to celebrate Holy Mass with our Migrant community. This reality and the photos are one of the best Christmas reflections for me. We keep them in our prayers.
