“That the Comboni Missionary Sisters, gathered together for the celebration of their XIX General Chapter, sustained by the faithful presence of St. Daniel Comboni and enlightened by the Holy Spirit, may be able to accept the prophetic journey which Mission requires at this time.”

Let us pray.

The Covina Mission Center is involved in promoting awareness of the Church’s missions and work of the Comboni Missionaries around the world. The Mission Center provides several services to the local community, following the inspiration of our founder St. Daniel Comboni, the Comboni Missionaries strive to make the local churches more aware of it’s missionary responsibility.

Mission promotion activities include: vocation promotion, mission appeals at different parishes, mission talks at schools and for parish groups, mission evenings where visiting Comboni Missionaries share their experience of the joys, sorrows and hopes of the young churches in the missions as well as visits to our benefactors. We are focused on Justice and Peace issues, advocacy for the poor and fund raising for the Church’s mission benefiting the work of the Comboni Missionaries.

We provide spiritual assistance at the Center through daily Mass, many come for confession by request. Our community is nourished by personal and community prayer, monthly days of recollection, meetings and fellowship. Our doors are open to all who would like to share in our prayer, discussions, activities that support the poor and the Church’s mission.

There is an active Comboni Missionary League, founded in 1965, comprised of a group of dedicated lay people who share the Comboni spirit and charism. They are committed to the work of the Comboni Missionaries in the mission apostolate and have dedicated their prayers, time, talents and financial support for those who are less fortunate. We are always happy to welcome new members into the group!

There is always need for extra hands to help in projects that help support the missions, if you can share some time or a talent… please call and become an active volunteer, we can share some ideas of how you can get involved ~ we would love to have you join us! Please contact Roxanne Schorbach at the phone number or email above.

A retirement community of elderly Comboni Missionaries lives adjacent to the Mission Center and take an active part in the various activities and groups that come to the Center.
