O.M.I.

Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate (kifupi O.M.I.) ni shirika la kipapa la wamisionari lililoanzishwa na Eujeni Mazenod (1782-1861) tarehe 25 Januari 1816. 

Mtakatifu huyo kutoka Ufaransa alipata kibali cha Papa Leo XII tarehe 17 Februari 1826. 

Shirika linaundwa na mapadri na mabruda ambao kwa kawaida wanaishi kijumuia. 

Mwaka 2011 walikuwa 4,400 hivi (kati yao 580 katika hatua za malezi) wakifanya umisionari katika sehemu nyingi za dunia, wakiwemo makardinali 2 na maaskofu wengi.

Historia na karama
Lengo la awali la shirika lilikuwa kuleta uamsho katika Kanisa Katoliki la Ufaransa baada ya Mapinduzi ya Kifaransa.

Lakini mapema kazi zake ziliongezeka na kuenea. Papa Pius XI (1857-1939) alipendezwa na juhudi za wanashirika hata akawaita “Wataalamu wa misheni ngumu zaidi za Kanisa”

Kama watawa wengine, wanashirika wanaweka nadhiri kuhusu mashauri ya Kiinjili ya useja mtakatifu, ufukara na utiifu.
