The second Sunday of May for the Generalate is marked by a particular trip, that of S. Giorgio of Cascia, a small village near the shrine of St. Rita of Cascia. This year the date coincided with the feast of Pentecost, and thus also with that of the Queen of the Apostles. As always, some representatives of the Generalate, along with some other Pallottine family members left for S. Giorgio on the Sunday of the descent of the Holy Spirit. Three days before the feast, Sr Edoarda of the Congregation of the Sisters of the Catholic Apostolate animated and guided the Triduum of preparation, dedicated to Mary, Queen of the Apostles, which ended with the enthronement of the statue of Pallotti in the parish church of S. Giorgio. During the Sunday liturgical celebration, however, it was our holy Founder, who invited us all to enter the Upper Room awaiting the Holy Spirit.

After a festive lunch in the spirit of family, we crossed the country in procession with the relics and the large statue of the saint, to implore the blessing on this place of origin of the Pallotti family.
We are very grateful to the family of descendants of the uncle of Vincent Pallotti, our Founder, who welcome us every year. We thank very sincerely also Fr. Natale, the parish priest of S. Giorgio for many years, who still recalls the time of the process of beatification and canonization of our Founder.
