What We Do

Have you ever thought of living out your faith by walking with the poor of another land?

We are a Catholic community of lay people who live out our faith and ideals by walking with the poor of other countries, sharing our talents, learning from one another, and joining the struggle for a more just and compassionate world.

After a 3-month training program, our lay missioners begin a 3-year assignment in Africa or Latin America. 

We share our talents in health care, education, agronomy, community development, administration, technical skills, and pastoral work. We live together in community and participate in pastoral teams of Comboni priests and religious and local leaders.

In order to truly walk with the people, we strive to learn the culture and language of the people and live a simple lifestyle close to that of the people. We bring with us a sense of justice and solidarity, a sense of humility -- and a sense of humor! We build friendships and work together as brothers and sisters.
