Comboni Missionary Vocation
Welcome
to the website of the Comboni Missionaries for young people searching for
their vocation while at School or at Universities and for Friends
and Benefactors of the Missionaries. It
promotes the Mission of the Catholic Church in the World.
This
web-page is particularly important and helpful for young people:
young men and women who want to look and plan their future life in
the light of God and of His call and especially for those who feel
they may be called to dedicate their life as Missionaries: Priests,
Brothers, Sisters and Lay Missionaries.
As
“Youth Ministry Team”, we are pleased to let you know
that, from the background of our missionary experience, we are
available to give our input on missionary
themes to
Schools, to Youth groups and whoever may be interested to hear about
them.
Fr.

and the person in charge of Youth Ministry.
Fr.

Isles and the person in charge of the Mission Office in Glasgow
Sr.

For
Lay People of any age who feel inspired by the Missionary
Spirituality of St. Daniel Comboni, who would like to deepen their
faith and to “reach out” to other people with the same
interest.
Born in 1831 in Limone on the shores of Lake Garda and deceased in 1881 in Khartoum, Daniel Comboni has entered the history of the Church and of the Missions as a founder, a saint and a great man.
Daniel
Comboni visited London in 1865 and 1866. In 1903, requested by
Card. Bourne, two Comboni missionaries Fr. Mantica and Fr. Lehr took
on the responsibility of a parish at Sidcup, in Kent. This first
presence in England lasted till 1911.
At
the moment we Comboni Missionaries have six communities: two in
London, two in England, one in Glasgow and one in Dublin.
