During this month of February, Fr. Tesfaye Tadesse, Superior General of the Comboni Missionaries, and Fr. Pietro Ciuciulla, member of the General Council, visited the North American Province. They spent time in each community, getting to know the local staff and volunteers. In Kitchener, Ontario, Fr. Tesfaye met the South Sudanese community of St. Joseph Parish (pictured). He assured the community that we are all united in prayer.
Meet the first African Superior General of the Comboni Missionaries, Fr Tesfaye Tadesse Gebresilasie. In this interview, he shares the story of his vocation and faith journey and the mission of the Comboni missionaries in Africa and in the World Church. He is joined in this conversation by Fr Ruffino Ezama, the North American Provincial of the Comboni Missionaries. Both of them offer us a compelling message of fraternal solidarity and provide a road map for a listening church, a prophetic church, and an inclusive church of peace, love, and fraternal solidarity in Africa and in the world.
