| St. Vincent Pallotti by Don Lorenzo |
History
Vincent was born in 1795. All his
life he believed in worshiping the Lord and helping the poor. He only 16 years
old when he knew God was calling him to be a priest. People who knew him
understood how holy he was. Father Vincent did a great deal to help poor people
and orphaned children, and he also made the Holy Family and Magi figures in the
Vatican’s outdoor Nativity scene.
Activity
Saint Vincent really wanted priests
and laypeople to work together to bring all people to Christ. Today, the
society he started – the Pallottines – have an international prayer network of
people who pray every day that God will help them show His love to the world.
It only takes a few minutes a day to pray these prayers, and membership in the
network is free. Make your commitment to pray and sign up today in honor of Saint Vincent Pallotti.
Saint Vincent Pallotti, pray for us!
