The eighth Symposium organised by the Polish Pallottine Institute was held on the days of 26-27th November 2011 at Konstancin-Jeziorna (Poland) on the theme: Pallotti-Man. This symposium had a particular significance because it opens a series of encounters, called 'Jubilee Triptych: St Vincent Pallotti- already near' that are proposed on the 50th anniversary of the canonisation of St V. Pallotti.
Three Pallottine confreres were invited to deal with the theme proposed during the November meeting. Fr Jan Kupka from Rome on the theme Family roots of Pallotti, Fr Stanislaw Zarzycki from Lublin who dealt with the theme: The personality and the human development of Vincent Pallotti, and Fr Stanislaw Stawicki of the Holy Family Region (Rwanda/Congo) who spoke of Pallotti and his acquaintances. 232 people participated at the meeting: Pallottine sisters, the Pallottine confreres from the two Polish provinces and a large number of laity.
Apart from these inputs on the evening of the first day, there was a touching moment with the recital of passages from Pallotti's letters. Stanislaw Gorka, a Polish actor, accompanied by three musicians, read some letters chosen deliberately to show the human dimension of Pallotti.
In the next two encounters of the Jubilee Triptych, they propose their reflections on the themes of Pallotti- Priest (14-15 April 2012) and Pallotti- Saint (27-28 October 2012).
