outreach

Married, single, in the family the Comboni Lay Missionary lives his or her work in the mission as an authentic vocation, and not just as a voluntary action.

It is more than 25 years since the Comboni Family was enriched by the presence of lay men and women, single and married who, aware of the needs of the present world, give a concrete reply, and decide to dedicate a period of their lives to work in the missions, in the name of Jesus and at the service of different Local Churches.

What started as a timid attempt in 1975 is now a big family of around 150 Comboni Lay Missionaries, spread all over the world.
