Pallottine Missionary Magazine "Faith and Charity"
We are pleased to present to you number 4 of the Pallottine Missionary Magazine "Faith and Charity" in the extraordinary missionary month, called by the Holy Father to invite the Church to pray and to reflect deeply on her missionary vocation.
As you will see, this issue contains testimonies from confreres and sisters of the Pallottine Family who work with young people in different parts of the world. But why dedicate an issue of the magazine to youth ministry? Because young people are the future of humanity and the Church dedicated a synod to them in October 2018. With this issue of our Missionary Magazine, we want to pay homage to all the missionaries who are dedicated to transmitting human and Christian values to young people, following the example of Our Founder Saint Vincent Pallotti.
Prayer of Discernment for the Reunification of Pallottine Sisters
“With joy we invite all UAC members and entities worldwide to join the 2 Congregations of the Pallottine Sisters - the Sisters of the Catholic Apostolate and the Missionary Sisters of the Catholic Apostolate - in their Prayer of Discernment for the Reunification. United as one Pallottine Family, we can contribute to the process of reunification of the Sisters' Congregations in many ways and one of them is to pray for them and with them. Through the intercession of our Founder, St. Vincent Pallotti, we ask Mary, Queen of Apostles, to guide and illumine this process of reunification for the infinite glory of God”. (Link for prayer...)
