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
Being Ready and Willing
A scribe approached and said to Jesus, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.” Matthew 8:19
This scribe said the right thing to Jesus. This is the attitude we should all have toward our Lord. We must be ready and willing to follow Him no matter what. However, Jesus’ response to this scribe is interesting. He said, “Foxes have dens and birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to rest his head” (Matthew 8:20).
