Mission Statement

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.

Vocation Page

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.

Schools and University

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.

Saint Daniel Comboni

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.

History of the London Province 

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.

Missionary Communities
