Comboni Lay Missionaries

Stopping inequality is in your hands

Manos Unidas
Manos Unidas

With this slogan, Manos Unidas (NGO of the Spanish Church), begins its annual campaign.

Manos Unidas has been known for supporting development projects around the world.

As Comboni Lay Missionaries, we collaborate in the campaign when we are asked to do so and we share our experience of the support received.

This year, Monsignor Jesus Ruiz, Comboni missionary and bishop of our diocese in Central African Republic, participated in a special way.

We leave you the video interview made for the campaign where we can hear the situation in the country.

Dário Bossi, an Italian Comboni missionary who has been working for years in Brazil with our CLM community, told us in the opening press conference of this year’s campaign about the situation in Brazil where our CLM are also present (his intervention from minute 25).

We also leave you the interview that Fr. Dário was given on television on the occasion of the presentation of this campaign.

That the celebration of the International Day against Female Genital Mutilation (on 6th February) may help all of us, women and men missionaries, to increase our attention and care for the dignity of women, especially those most vulnerable, and that, through the intercession of Saint Bakhita, we may know how to find new ways of “making common cause” with all victims of oppression and inequality. Let us pray.

Getting ready to leave for Kenya

Hello Everyone 🙂

Greetings from Poland! Almost three weeks ago I started my community experience before going to Kenya. Now I’m in Warsaw and I live with Ewa, my friend from community. Time is running so fast! I have a lot of meetings and so a lot of oportunites to learn something more. I speak a lot with others missionaries. They share with me their experience. Tell me more about challenges on mission.

I have biblical catechesis twice a week and meetings with Alberto. I have english lessons because there is also a lot of work to do 😉

Apart from that I spent a few days in Poznań where my friends from community did for me a great repetition of first aid! They also told me a lot about their pastoral work on their mission and many many other topics we discussed.

Prayer Intentions of the Comboni Family January 2023

Comboni y Jesus

That the week of prayer for Christian unity may be an occasion for growth in mutual knowledge and finding common elements among the different Christian denomi-nations that urge us to create deeper relations between ourselves, promote universal brotherhood, and so contribute to the dream of Jesus, “That they may all be one” (Jn 17,21). Let us pray.
