Our family takes its name from St.
Vincent Pallotti, a 19th century saint whose life and
ideals are a model for the Church today.
We are a province of the Congregation
of the Sisters of the Catholic Apostolate which is based
in Rome and can be found in Italy, Brazil, Argentina, India,
Mozambique as well as in the United States.
Along with the Priests
and Brothers of the Society of the Catholic Apostolate
and the Missionary Sisters
of the Catholic Apostolate we are the founding members
of the Union of the Catholic Apostolate
who share responsibility for the overall union, its unity
and apostolic efficiency. Over time other communities
have come into being.
A public association of the faithful, the
Union is open to priests, brothers, sisters, and laity who
seek to call all of God’s people to accept the apostolic
vocation which is theirs both by birth and baptism.
In our Province, as in other Pallottine religious
communities, there are a number of Cenacles,
groups of laity who — inspired by the ideals of St.
Vincent and dedicated to his vision — are supported
in their efforts to live an apostolic life. |
