Certainly,

The Oblates of St. Joseph were founded in Asti, Italy by Bishop (now Saint) Joseph Marello. Originally founded as an order of Brothers who would assist parishes as sacristans and catechists, the Order admitted its first priest, Don Cortona, who would later succeed Bishop Marello’s leadership of the Congregation.

Today they number somewhere around 400-500 worldwide, with missions in India, the United States, Nigeria, Philippines, Peru, Bolivia, Mexico and Poland, in addition to the two provinces in Italy.
