Religious activities involving Oblation orders have been reported in Poland. In Obra, the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate (OMI) held ceremonies at the Alma Mater retreat house to celebrate the 50th anniversary of religious profession for several fathers. During these rites, cleric Dawid Sowa OMI made a perpetual profession, while two novices completed their novitiate by making their first religious vows.

In Katowice, the Sisters of the Oblation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, an order from Como, Italy, established their first Polish community. Beginning their ministry on September 8, 2026, the sisters plan to provide pastoral care, education, social work, and medical assistance. The community, currently including Sister Elżbieta, is expected to expand with the arrival of two sisters from India in the coming months.
