Comboni Lay Missionaries in the MCCJ Assembly of Central America
Tuesday, January 24, 2017
During the week of January 9-11, the Comboni Lay Missionaries (CLM) of the Central American Province – Carol de Rosales, Alejandro Camey and Lily Portillo – were invited to take part in the provincial assembly of January 2017 which took place in the municipality of San Lucas, Department of Sacatepéquez, near Guatemala City. According to the Capitular documents of the MCCJ, the 18th General Chapter at the #44.14 encourages new forms of communications so that the MCCJ, SCM, CMS and CLM, still respecting the integrity of their identity, may work together according to the charism of Comboni and his passion for mission.
“And so – said Lily Portillo –, it was that a delegation of three CLM (Carol de Rosales, Alejandro Camey and Lily Portillo) attended the entire assembly in order to plan with our moderator, Bro. Humberto Rua, the various activities that will take place during the next six years. We, who attended the Continental Meeting in Mexico last September, are the only ones who could help planning the proposed activities from a purely lay point of view. It was a very positive experience because we filled ourselves with the spirit of the Comboni charism and felt part of the family. There were moments of formation, planning and sharing. We are grateful to God for this opportunity and may we all, by the intercession of St. Daniel Comboni, proclaim Jesus to those who are the farthest and most disadvantaged.”
