An international religious congregation, founded in Turin on 29 January 1910 by Saint Joseph Allamano, we serve the Church in the mission of first proclamation of the Gospel to those who do not yet know Jesus Christ, the true consolation of the Father.
Our Father Founder, in a filial dialogue with Our Lady Consolata (he was rector of the Shrine consecrated to her for 46 years), felt the desire to form missionaries for evangelization and the proclamation of salvation to all peoples.
The mission ad gentes – proclamation to non-Christians – is the charismatic principle of our apostolic action and is born
of a profound relationship with Jesus, the missionary Son of the Father (Constitutions, 64)
We contribute to the growth of the Christian community by collaborating with other pastoral forces in the formation of the laity in the various ministries.
We welcome with respect the diversity of confessions and religions and promote a peaceful and supportive intercultural and interreligious coexistence.
The story begins
Canon Giuseppe Allamano opens, without much noise, the Institute of the Consolata Missionary Sisters in Turin
Arrival in Kenya
The first 15 Consolata Missionary Sisters reach Limuru. The group leader is Sister Margherita Demaria. Little by little they will replace the Cottolengo Sisters.
Arrival in Tanzania
Six Consolata Missionary Sisters arrive in a caravan in Tosamaganga. They initiate schools, take care of the sick, make visits to the villages.
Arrival in Ethiopia
The land dreamt of by the Founder welcomes the first group of Sisters after many years of waiting. But during the Second World War the Sisters are forced to leave the country and return only in 1975.
Called by the Holy Spirit to share in the Charism, God’s gift to Father Founder, we offer our life to Christ forever, in the mission ad gentes,
that is, to non-Christians,
for the proclamation of salvation and consolation.
