The Friends of the CMS (FCMS) – 1997
One of the aims of the Comboni Missionary Sisters in the USA is the linguistic/professional preparation of the young Sisters for the mission. In helping them fulfill this aim, we share in their mission.
Periodically we meet with the Comboni Sisters to plan and to learn how we can be instrumental in seeing that those plans come to fruition.
FCMS is formed by:
Spirituality Committee ̶ planning for missionary celebrations and encouraging others to pray and support the mission and the missionaries.
Fundraising Committee ̶ proposing and executing fundraising projects particularly to support financially the CMS of this Delegation, and to help with the education of their members in the USA.
Hospitality Committee ̶ finding ways to welcome new members and planning for events.
Membership Committee ̶ promoting the Sisters mission and increasing membership in FCMS.
