The feast of Mary, Queen of Apostles, the Patroness of the entire Pallottine Family was celebrated solemnly in Rome. The picture of the "Cenacle" in our church SS. Salvatore in Onda was specially decorated by our Sacristian Bro Wojciech Szporna. The Generalate Community had a special Mass before lunch presided over by Fr. Gilberto Orsolin, Rector of the Community.

The most spiritually enriching part of the celebration was the Holy Mass and the Vigil Service in preparation for the Solemnity of Pentecost, prepared by the General Secretariat of the Union in our church of Queen of Apostles, at Via G.Ferrari, Rome, before the original picture of the Cenacle of our Founder. The Eucharistic celebration was presided over by Rector General, Fr. Jacob Nampudakam. During the homily he examined the various dimensions of the "Cenacle", for developing an effective "Pedagogy of the Cenacle" in view of forming authentic apostles of Jesus, in the spirit of our Founder. The Vigil service enabled the large number of members of the Union present in the church to live these dimensions spiritually by renewing their baptismal commitment, praying with Mary in Cenacle, listening to the Word of God, meditating on the spiritual writings of Pallotti and praying and singing together the "Veni, Creator Spiritus...". The Vigil Service was an apt preparation for the solemnity of Pentecost.
