In the reflection made at the 18th General Chapter, it emerged that as Comboni Missionaries we are present in frontier situations, but we carry out ordinary pastoral work. We realised the need to make more meaningful proposals for the people, to grasp and express more the action of the Spirit in their life and history.

The Palorinya Comboni Mission is one of the innovative communities in the Comboni family, implementing some priorities of our XVIII General Chapter. Refugee programs and especially those aimed at peace building are very important reminders for the Institute for the sustainability and growth of our missionary work among the poorest and the most abandoned populations.
Fratelli tutti: Summary of Chapter 3

After reflecting on the closing off that characterise our time, Pope Francis invites us to think and generate an open world. This is another logic, based on the reality of being fully human, which is realised in the encounter with others. The human person is inclined to bonding: in her very root dwells the call to transcend herself in the encounter with others. Love makes us strive for universal communion.
Fr. Francesco Pierli: “The Gospel for Engendering and Open World”

As we go through the “History of the Missions”, it is enriching to stop and reflect on the Patron of our Congregation: Francis Xavier. Born in Spain, he was exposed to internationality and science, in Paris. When he entered the circle of friends, and then as a member of the Society of Jesus, he had a wealth of culture and science.
Fr. Giuseppe Caramazza: “Epoch-making Challenges”

In recent decades, a new culture has taken hold in the world. Thanks in part to globalisation and a certain cultural flattening to US trends, the use of language is changing everywhere. This metamorphosis reflects a – sometimes morbid – attention to gender balance, inclusive language, avoiding expressions that might be offensive to one or another minority.
Bro. Paolo Rizzetto: “Sharing joys and struggles with the people”

I was called to a missionary service as a Comboni Brother in South Sudan, working in health care promotion, first as a faculty member in a school for obstetricians and nurses and, for the past four years, I have been entrusted with the responsibility of being the acting medical director and administrator of Mary Immaculate Hospital, located in the Lakes Region, 70 km from the capital Rumbek.
