One of the two international novitiates of the Comboni Missionary Sisters is in San Antonio, Texas. We have three novices: Paola from Colombia, Basma from Egypt, and Elena from Italy.
We provide novices with theological and bible studies and English language courses in different institutions. Also, the formative community, together with the novices, collaborates in the Justice and Peace Coalition, accompanies refugees in the Migrant Resource Center of Catholic Charities, welcomes newly arrived legal asylum seekers at San Antonio’s bus station, and carries donations for shelters at the US-Mexican border. As Comboni Missionary Sisters, we feel a strong call for solidarity with the people who leave their land because of danger and listen with compassion to their stories and sufferings.
This year 2022, we are requesting funding to help support the studies and ministries of the novices. When they finish their novitiate, which lasts two years, they will be assigned to one of the 33 countries where we are present. Thank you for your collaboration in forming new Comboni Missionary Sisters, women of the Gospel, to announce Jesus Christ to the world!
