Society of the Catholic Apostolate (Pallottines)
On January 9, 1835, St Vincent Pallotti founded the Pious Union of the Catholic Apostolate under the protection of the Virgin Mary, Queen of the Apostles, with a view to bringing together all the baptized (priests, religious and laity) in the same society to share the task to revive faith, rekindle charity and spread both in the world.
The Society of the Catholic Apostolate, an integral part of the Union of the Catholic Apostolate, is a community of priests and brothers at the service of the apostolic mission of the Church in the world.
The Pallottines have been at the service of the Sanctuary since 2003.
