The Society of the Catholic Apostolate, the Pallottines, belongs to the Society of Apostolic Life. It is an international Catholic religious Society founded in 1835 by Saint Vincent Pallotti in Rome, Italy. The Society was established during a period when the Catholic Church faced serious spiritual challenges, declining faith, and increasing social difficulties. Saint Vincent Pallotti believed that every Christian, regardless of status or profession, was called by God to participate actively in the mission of evangelization and charity.
We, the Society of the Catholic Apostolate, are a community embedded in a large international network called the Union of the Catholic Apostolate (UAC – from the Latin Unio Apostolatus Catholici). Our members are called Pallottines, taken from the name of our founder, Vincent Pallotti. We are united in the fascination with the infinite God. We are guided by our confidence in the communion of all people and the vision of a united humanity, which combines diversity and unity.
