Pallottines
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pallottines are a religious congregation within the Roman Catholic Church, founded in 1835 as SAC, societas apostolatus catholici, by the Roman priest Vincent Pallotti.
One example of their work was the Pallottine mission to Kamerun, established in 1890 in the German colony of Kamerun.
St. Vincent Pallotti High School in Laurel, Maryland is run by the Pallottines even though no nuns are currently employed there.
Another example of a school run by the Pallottines is Bishop Eustace Preparatory School in Pennsauken, New Jersey.
The St. Paulusheim Gymnasium in Bruchsal, Germany is also led by Pallotines though the number of teaching paters is decreasing.
Irish Province
The Irish Province was founded in 1907 in Thurles, County Tipperary.
