 "All that the the Father gives Me shall come to Me; and the one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out. For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I lose nothing, but raise it up on the last day. For this is the will of My Father, that evryone who beholds the Son, and believes in Him, may have eternal life; and I Myself will raise him up on the last day." John 6, 37-40 |
Vincent Pallotti was born in Rome in 1795. It was a time of waning faith and Pallotti saw a need to revive that faith. In 1835 he founded the Union of Catholic Apostolate. This union made up of both religious and lay people acted as a united community for spreading God's word. Pallotti died in 1850, was beatified a century later, and proclaimed a saint in January of 1963.

Pallottine Fathers and Brothers Home Page: "The Pallottine Fathers & Brothers are a religious order deriving its name from St. Vincent Pallotti, a roman priest who inflamed the Church with his ideas that later found their echos in the Vatican Council II. Our main domain is the awakening in the baptized of the awareness that each one is an Apostle of Jesus Christ - St. Vincent's key concern." This page was orginally written for the Polish Delegature in the United States, and comes from New York state. | |||||||||||

"The Pallotti Centre can link you to full-time volunteer opportunites both in the United States and overseas. Through our Connections directory, you can read about more than 100 volunteer programs, which need volunteers to work in education, community outreach, campus ministry, advocacy, construction, medicine, homeless ministry, ministry to the elderly, the sick and the poor.These are faith-based programs (90% of which are Catholic), but they are not inappropriately proseletyzing. Connections gives a detailed profile of each program and helps you narrow down and decide between the many service opportunities that exist. Check it out! The Pallotti Center also has resources and services for volunteers in the field, as well as for returned volunteers." The national office of the St. Vincent Pallotti Centre is located in Washington, D.C. | |||||||||||
