Comboni Feast Day online celebration

Sr Graca and Sr Natalia write: Some of you might still recall last year's exciting Comboni Friends Day celebrated here at the Comboni Centre, in Chiswick. A few months later, we were all overwhelmed by the Covid-19 pandemic. Since then we understand better the need to make time for friendship and for celebrating the little things that life gives us. It is a biblical principle that God wants us to "rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer" (Rom 12:12).

We therefore are delighted to invite you to celebrate with us the Comboni Feast Day and four years of the Comboni Centre. The event will take place ONLINE via ZOOM on Saturday 10th October 2020 10.25am-12.30. We would have much loved to welcome you physically in the warm environment of the Comboni Centre but we will have to pray that all will be back to normal next year.

If you would like to attend this event please call us on the number below and ask to send you the link.

The event will include two stories from Comboni Sisters: Sr Joana Carneiro from the frontline in South Sudan and Sr Gabriella Bottani on a mission to fight human trafficking. This will be followed by Mass celebrated by Fr Julio Ocanna. The music will be provided by young volunteers: Patrick Rafter, violinist and Pedro Gomes, Pianist, Charlotte Lamont and Sofia Sulas, singers. There will be also a taste of African Congolese music by a group of young candidates to missionary life.

The Sisters Community in Chiswick are keeping you and your dear ones in our prayer.

We are looking forward to seeing you soon. Sr Graca and Sr Natalia.
