They follow his motto, "The love of Christ impels us" (Caritas Christi Urget Nos).

Members of the Society of the Catholic Apostolate work as everyday missionaries to "renew faith and rekindle love."

The Pallottines have major houses in Britain, Germany, New York, Poland, India, Ireland.

The Congregation of the Sisters of the Catholic Apostolate, commonly referred to as Pallottines, is an international community founded in Rome, Italy by Vincent Pallotti.

The Pallottine Sisters trace their beginnings to the Pia Casa di Carità (Pious House of Charity) he established in Rome in 1838.

This was a work dedicated to the religious and civil education of young girls who had been abandoned on the streets of Rome to procure food through begging.
