Its members use the suffix 'O.SS.C.A'. It was originally based in San Sepolcro, Milan, but in 1928 moved to its present base on via Settala. P. Calliari, ''Oblati dei Santi Ambrogio e Carlo'', in ''Dizionario degli istituti di perfezione'', vol. VI, Milano, Edizioni paoline, 1980, coll. 647-652. Their spirituality does not belong to any particular school, but has strong elements of the Ignatian - part of their charism is to maintain a spirituality whose marks are belonging to the diocesan clergy, obedience to the bishop and safeguarding elements of the Ambrosian Rite.

Ambrosians
Ambrosians are members of one of the religious brotherhoods which at various times since the 14th century have sprung up in and around Milan. In the 16th century, a sect of Anabaptist Ambrosians was founded. Orders Only the oldest of the Catholic Ambrosians, the Fratres S. Ambrosii ad Nemus, had anything more than a very local significance. This order is known from a bull of Pope Gregory XI addressed to the monks of the church of St Ambrose outside Milan. This further references Herzog-Hauck's ''Realencyklopadie'', i. 439. Saint Ambrose, Bishop of Milan, certainly did not found religious orders, though he took an interest in the monastic life and watched over its beginnings in his diocese, providing for the needs of a monastery outside the walls of Milan, as Saint Augustine recounts in his '' Confessions''. Ambrose also made successful efforts to improve the moral life of women in the Milan of his time by promoting the permanent institution of Virgins, as also of widows. His ex ...
