The first meeting of the Local Community of the Generalate occurred on October 17th 2011. The sixteen members that make up the Administration of the Generalate and the 15 students of the International college 'Queen of the Apostles' met in the recreation room to introduce themselves to each other. They were able to establish some rules for community life and to programme various activities that will take place during the year of celebration for the 50th anniversary of the canonisation of Saint Vincent Pallotti. In his welcoming talk, the Rector General Fr Jacob Nampudakam expressed his gratitude for each one of the members present and their availability to serve the Society of the Catholic Apostolate.
