Vincent Pallotti; a mystic in action, who constantly took the Gospel to the streets. His pastoral approach was dynamic, invigorating, and prophetic; where the holiness of all the baptized - Lay & Religious - were called to build up the Church. A missionary of Rome, with a spirituality of universality to the remotest hemispheres, his missions are in over 50 countries around the world; from the foot
hills of the Himalayas, to the Pacific islands of Papua New Guinea. Intensely holy, he held a prophetic mandate for joining the action between the clergy and laity; a forerunner to the modern spirituality emphasized in Vatican II, impelling the edification of the laity’s mature vocation. Juridically, the Union is encompassed by the Society of the Catholic Apostolate (the Pallottine Fathers and Brothers), the Sisters of the Catholic Apostolate, and the Missionary Sisters of the Catholic Apostolate. Vincent conceived that the core communities were to be the crux on which the Union were to grow.
