The Oblates, as they were sometimes called, recognized the trials and barriers Black people faced in America and worked tirelessly to serve the needy. Racism and gender discrimination also visited the Oblates but according to accounts, they never wavered from their godly call to serve. As Mother Superior, Lange was seen as the face of the order but all of the sisters were known contributors.
Lange lived a long life and worked until she died in February 1882.
In recent times, The Oblates have campaigned for Lange to be considered for sainthood because of her work for the church.
