Oblate School of Theology is a Catholic graduate school for theological studies and spirituality in San Antonio, Texas. It was founded in 1903 by the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate.[2] Louis Studer, OMI, has served as its president since July 2024.[3][4]

Oblate is home to three institutes: the Sankofa Institute for African American Pastoral Leadership, the Pastoral Formation Institute, and the Institute for the Study of Contemporary Spirituality.[5] The school offers the only fully-funded, ATS-accredited PhD in Christian Spirituality in the United States, founded by Ronald Rolheiser.[6]
