Silver Jubilee of World Mission

On March 15, St. Daniel Comboni’s birthday, a joyful crowd of about 200 people gathered at the Comboni Mission Center in Sucat, Paranaque, Metro Manila, for the celebration of the 25 years of existence of our missionary magazine “World Mission”. A copy of the first issue, which came out in March 1989, was brought to the altar during the solemn commemorative Mass, together with the most significant of the many awards received, the Trophy of the entrance in the Hall of Fame.

The Superior of the Delegation, Fr. Miguel Ángel Llamazares González, presided over the Eucharistic celebration, together with all the other seven confreres present in the Philippines as well as many diocesan priests from the neighboring parishes and the local bishop’s secretary.

After the Mass, a new statue of Comboni was unveiled and blessed to mark the link between World Mission Silver Jubilee and the unceasing presence of the Founder’s charism in the commitment of the magazine which, for the quality of its contents and the many awards received, can be considered an important achievement of the presence of the Comboni Missionaries in Asia.
