Pallotti was a Roman priest who dedicated his life to caring for the poor and sick. He was born into a very religious family and learned of God\u2019s love at a very young age. Pallotti was ordained a priest on May 16, 1818. He lived during the Siege of Rome in which the French attempted to occupy Rome.<\/p>\n<p>In 1835, a devastating cholera epidemic struck; sickness and death plagued the city during these times. Several children were left orphaned and Pallotti recognized the desperate need for a helping hand. He mainly cared for young, homeless, girls, and orphaned children. With the assistance of several dedicated women, Pallotti labored selflessly to care for those who were poor, sick, or marginalized.<\/p>\n<p>These women became known as some of the first Pallottine Sisters. They taught, cared for the sick, sheltered the homeless, and spread the message of God\u2019s love to the people of Rome. Apart from that, they opened and managed several orphanages, preached in parishes, organized Christian youth groups and spread the good news.<\/p>\n<p>The Pallottine Sisters today still teach, still care for the sick, and still spread their message of compassion, service, and spirituality all around the world. They are committed to working towards the issues of the twenty-first century and sharing the message of Saint Vincent Pallotti.[\/vc_column_text]<a href=\"#\" class=\"sc_button sc_button_square sc_button_style_filled sc_button_size_medium margin_top_small\">Read More<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;7em&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1459950114579{background-image: url(http:\/\/pastorechurch.themerex.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/bg-3.jpg?id=1034) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}&#8221;][vc_column]<div class=\"columns_wrap sc_columns columns_nofluid sc_columns_count_3 margin_top_large margin_bottom_large\"><div class=\"column-2_3 sc_column_item sc_column_item_1 odd first span_2\"><h2 class=\"sc_title sc_title_underline sc_align_left margin_top_huge margin_bottom_tiny\" style=\"letter-spacing: 0.12em;text-align:left;color:#f6f0e7;font-weight:600;font-size:2.600em;\"><span class=\"accent1\">LOVING GOD<\/span><br \/>\nLOVING OTHERS IN THE WORLD<\/h2>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;0.5em&#8221;]<div class=\"sc_section  scheme_light\"><div class=\"sc_section_inner\"><div class=\"sc_section_descr sc_item_descr\">Our Pallottine Mission is open and friendly with many social causes & events.
