Provincial Assembly of the NAP
Rome, Thursday, April 26, 2012
The Comboni Missionaries have ministered in the United States to the poor and marginalized since 1939. While they have taken on ministries through the years, they have had a constant presence in Cincinnati. From 16 to 20 of April, all the confreres of the NAP came together at the Comboni Mission Center in Anderson for a week-long Assembly.
Thirty-three priests enjoyed the rare gift of living together as one community, sharing ideas and visioning for the future. They spent the majority of time on updating the Provincial Directory and developing a draft for a Six-year Plan. To begin their assembly, they had a full day of on-going formation together with a discussion of justice, peace and integrity of creation issues.
A major highlight of the week was the 50th anniversary celebration of ordination of Fr. Joseph Bragotti and Fr. Peter Premarini. Both names are well known by many here in the Cincinnati area. Fr. Joe lived in Cincinnati for 25 years, serving as Mission Office Director and editor of the “Comboni Missions” magazine. Fr. Peter was in ministry in Cincinnati for eight years, serving as pastor of St. Henry Church in the West End and St. Pius X in South Cumminsville.
