Inspired by the examples of St. Paul and St. Daniel Comboni, Fr. Randy Recalde from Calamba, Laguna, has sought his vocation in life since his teenage years. Raised in a devout family and shaped by his experiences in the parish, he decided to pursue mission work across continents.
Established in 2022, St. Francis Xavier community serves the growing Catholic population in the Diocese of Balanga, in the province of Bataan. Rooted in the charism of St. Daniel Comboni, it fosters evangelization, indigenous people outreach, and missionary promotion and vocation.
To signal the 25th anniversary of St. Joseph the Worker Parish in Macau, the Comboni missionaries and parishioners hosted a historical exposition. This exposition commemorated the parish’s rich history while considering future missionary endeavors.
The arrival of the Comboni Missionaries in Macau soon led to a question: What about mainland China? Thus, a project to support the Church in China was born: Fen Xiang. The aim is to encourage the sharing of resources and means with the dioceses through the formation of clergy, religious, and laity.
For over 27 years, the Comboni missionaries have shared the joy of the Gospel with the Catholic communities of the Archdiocese of Taipei. Rooted in their unique missionary charism, they serve three parishes, accompany aboriginal groups, and attend to the spiritual needs of migrants.
In 2002, the Comboni missionaries started planting their first seeds of missionary work in Taiwan. Over time, the community has become a vibrant presence in the capital Taipei, offering pastoral care, social outreach, and unwavering faith amidst a predominantly Buddhist and Taoist society.
