Project description
Missionary commitment is an integral part of our charism and aims to raise awareness among local churches of their responsibility to proclaim Christ's message beyond their own borders. Integrated into the local church, through our missionary commitment, we remind Christians that, from the moment of baptism, they are "baptized and sent on mission." We present the missionary vocation open to the world. We are committed to sharing our charism with lay people who, in their own way, participate through various associations linked to the Comboni charism.
This is primarily a missionary awareness-raising and formation program for young people and lay groups on the Church's social doctrine, with a view to their social commitment, advocating for justice, peace, and the protection of creation, inspired by Laudato Si', and educating them on their responsibility to protect the environment and its consequences.
Objectives
- Raise awareness within the local Church by training Christians to live a life of witness and to be committed to sharing and communicating their faith
- Promote interest in missions ad gentes within the Christian community
- Form youth groups in parishes to facilitate missionary commitment and involvement in justice, peace, and the protection of creation
- Offer training and concrete actions for missionary commitment to lay candidates who feel called to share our Comboni charism and express a desire for specific missionary commitment as members of the Comboni Missionary Movement (CMM) in Togo
- Promote Missionary Animation through social media and other communication channels
