On days 1 to 3 of May met at the house of the Comboni Missionaries in Nürnberg our small group of Comboni Lay Missionaries (CLM). For two years we met regularly on the theme “Mission Motherland”. During many years each of us have realized not only to be touched and moved by the charisma of Daniel Comboni, but also to walk with the Comboni Family.

Christoph Koch with Jonathan,
Pia Schildmair and Birgit Kreiter.

At the beginning of the meeting we exchanged ideas with Father Karl Peinhopf (new provincial of the DSP) on the current changes, challenges and priorities of the mission as “permanent heart” of the Comboni Family.

We continue with an intense work on the future configuration of the group, the real possibility of making a common work (considering that we are distributed from Vienna to Saxony) and the question of seeing how we join among us to grow and give wings to the missionary work in our day to day despite the distances.

We are Pia Schilmair, Birgit and Christioph Koch, Brigitte Kreiter, Martina Schrott, Barbara Ludewig and brother Friedbert Tremmel of the Comboni Missionaries as advisor. We decided to risk in this way as CLM group and throw our skills for the common good of the Comboni Family. Brigitte Kreiter and Barbara Ludewig were chosen as representatives of the group.
