Cinquanta
Club
The Cinquanta Club is an organization that assists in the maintenance
of Villa Maria Teresa, headquarters of the Oblate Sisters in The United
States, and its various ministerial activities. The club was originated
by the Advisory Board of the Sisters in December 1963, upon the inspiration
of Dr. John Scarnecchia.
Memberships are open year round. Simply mail your check in the amount
of $100 (or more, if possible) to the Oblate Sisters, Villa Maria
Teresa, 50 Warner. Rd., Hubbard, OH 44425. Describe the manner in
which you want your name to appear on the Membership Roll and we will
respond promptly!
The Sisters show their gratitude to the members by remembering them
in their daily prayers and by sponsoring the annual appreciation banquet
which is held on the last Sunday in April.

The Auxiliary
of the Oblate Sisters of the Sacred Heart
 The
Auxiliary of the Oblate Sisters is a group of Christian women who
pray regularly for the sanctification of priests and for vocations
to the priesthood. They also promote devotion to the Sacred Heart
of Jesus, especially the consecration of the family. They foster
the external activities of the Oblate Sisters.
The women gather the first Sunday of every month at the headquarters
of the Oblate Sisters, Villa Maria Teresa Convent. They begin with
a Holy Hour, a reflection offered by their chaplain, and then conclude
with a business meeting. During the meeting, the women recite a
prayer for priests at the beginning, and conclude with a prayer
for peace.
Each member promises to receive Holy Communion on the First Friday
of each month whenever possible.
The Oblate Sisters join the ladies at prayer during their monthly
Holy Hour. The sisters also pray daily for each member and their
family. A Mass of suffrage is offered for the repose of the soul
of a member upon death, and the Auxiliary, along with the Sisters,
pray the rosary in a body for the deceased member. The Auxiliary
also has a Mass offered for the repose of the soul of an immediate
family member upon death.
