Welcome to Comboni Missionaries, Uganda
We are a Missionary religious Institute of Priests and Brothers founded on the 1st of June 1867 by St Daniel Comboni. In Uganda, the Comboni Missionaries arrived on 17th February, 1910 at Pakwach. Our territory of evangelization in Uganda comprised of the greater northern region in the present-day Dioceses of Arua, Nebbi, Gulu, Lira, Moroto and Kotido. We are also present in the archdiocese of Kampala, Mbarara and Jinja.
St. Daniel Comboni
Daniele Comboni, an Italian Catholic bishop who served in missions in Africa was the founder of both the Comboni Missionaries of the Heart of Jesus and the Comboni Missionary Sisters. He became the first Catholic Bishop of Central Africa, and one of the great missionaries in the Church’s history
Comboni Priests
The Comboni Missionary priests (mccj) are ordained and consecrated men, faithful to the vocation they receive and are committed to the Church’s mission, and endeavor to be witnesses of the Gospel through an attitude of collaboration and dialogue with other cultures and religions.
Comboni Missionary Sisters
The Comboni Missionary Sisters are a Catholic religious institute originally founded under the name Piae Madres Nigritiae, translated as the “Pious Mothers of the Nigritia” or “The Devout Mothers of Africa”. They are also known as the Missionary Sisters Pie Madre della Nigrizia or the Missionary Sisters of Verona
Advent, A time of hope
It is Advent again. We begin the new liturgical year with this opportune time of hope. Perhaps for some Catholics having lived it many times, it is again that traditional season that we observe in order to usher in Christmas. The season of advent always offers something new especially as far as the prevailing situations in the world are concerned.
Limone Medical Centre gets operating Theatre

Fr Tesfaye was accompanied to the inauguration by the Ugandan Provincial Superior Fr. Achilles Kiwanuka and his Deputy Fr. Anthony Kibira.
Pope beatifies Fr Joseph Ambrosoli
Pope Francis delegated the Apostolic Nuncio to Uganda, Archbishop Luigi Bianco, to officiate the beatification of Fr. Ambrosoli which took place at Kalongo, Agago district. Present were several Bishops, priests, as well as the Superior General of the Comboni Missionaries, Fr Tesfaye Tadesse.
Reflection - Grieved at the Hardness of Heart
Then he said to the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath rather than to do evil, to save life rather than to destroy it?” But they remained silent. Looking around at them with anger and grieved at their hardness of heart, Jesus said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out and his hand was restored. Mark 3:4–5
Sin damages our relationship with God. But hardness of heart is even more damaging because it perpetuates the damage done by sin. And the harder one’s heart, the more permanent the damage.
