It was a great day when the Comboni Lay Missionaries of Togo Ghana Benin had been invited by Rev. Fr. Bonaventure (MCCJ). This was to attend a meeting with the Friends of Comboni association of Ghana. This gathering took place in Accra at the OLA Parish on September 8th 2024.
Being excited of the attendance, the priest in charged of the group had decided to lead the Rosary Prayer for the opening of this important meeting. The joint meeting with the Comboni Family that day was an interesting one. Two branches of the Comboni Family with the Friends of Comboni group were represented.
Welcoming the members for the day’s business, Rev. Fr. Bonaventure MCCJ, had stressed on the importance of prayer as the sole of a religious life. This was followed by self introduction which was another joyous moment because most of the friends of Comboni have met a Comboni Lay Missionary (CLM) for the first time.
As if the time we were all waiting for had come, when the CLM was invited for his presentation. His talk was captured in three sub topics such as: the Comboni Lay Missionaries as one of the branches of Comboni Family, another was on the criteria to become a member, in addition to the formation processes and stages.
The Comboni Missionary (MCCJ), Rev. Fr. Bonaventure could not hide his words of happiness and said emphatically that “this meeting had been successful.’ The meeting came to an end with exchange of contacts, closing prayer and benediction and finally rounded with a group photographs. Long live Comboni Family, long live the CLM.
Christian Wotormenyo, CLM.
