Structure of the community PDF Print E-mail

The Society of the Catholic Apostolate as Society of Apostolic Life has a hierarchical structure at three levels.The supreme administrative organ is the General Administration with its office in Rome.

The second level of organisation is constituted of the Provinces and Regions. These are independent organisational units with a certain number of members. The Provincial/Regional Regimes coordinate the life and activity of the respective entity, take personal decisions and are responsible for the spiritual and community life of the members. The superiors of such entities are called Provincial or Regional Rectors. The Society is divided into 12 Provinces and 8 Regions. Each one of them got its proper name, which, at the same time, determines its titular and patrons feast.

At the third organisational level we have the Local Communities in which the Pallottines live and work. In the whole world around 300 canonically erected Local Communities exist. Some of them are small and consist of three or four members, and the others (for eg. houses of formation, major seminaries) have bigger number of members.
