On 28th of October, 2017, for the 14th time, many members of the Union of the Catholic Apostolate gathered at the Spiritual Centre of the Union, the Church of SS. Salvatore in Onda in Rome, where the remains of St. Vincent Pallotti repose under the altar. Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and solemn Mass were the expression of gratitude for this deeper ecclesial recognition of the Union. The praise to God for the recognition by the Church authority, with subsequent final approval of the General Statues of the Union in 2008, is for us to follow with perseverance in the footsteps of St. Vincent Pallotti, who received from Pope Gregory XVI “a thousand blessings” for the Union.
From 19 to 23 of May the General Coordination Council of the UAC met for its annual meeting. The members coming from five continents, were trying to respond to the needs of the Pallottine Family and to fulfill the mission call: "Go and Proclaim", according to the idea of St. Vincent Pallotti. These meetings are always very precious and fruitful. As brothers and sisters, representatives of different vocations: priests, brothers and sisters consecrated and lay members, they gather together to look to the past and with renewed enthusiasm they take concrete steps to the future.

Although we may be engaged in a variety of ministries, we all share the common call to apostolic discipleship in a community of the Catholic Apostolate of St. Vincent Pallotti."(OWL, 91)

"As Pallottines, it is our special charism to foster growth in faith and love among the laity, to awaken them to awareness of their apostolic call, and to cooperate with them in furthering the apostolic mission." (OWL, 21)

"Our relationships with one another should be marked by a love that bears all, believes all and hopes for all, a love that is neither conceited nor jealous, which hurts no one, nor is embittered or resentful. It is never discouraged but remains patient and kind. It rejoices with others and shares their suffering. It is with this kind of love that we should help and support one another." (OWL, 90)
