The Generalate community, together with other members of the Union of Catholic Apostolate, gathered together on 29 January 2010 in our church of SS. Salvatore in Onda for thanking the Lord for the presence and work of Fr. Bruno Bayer. He has lived for many years in the Generalate, dedicating himself to the study on Vincent Pallotti and specially took care of the edition of the Letters of our holy Founder. In fact, the eight and the last volume is being printed and will be published shortly.
The Rector General, Fr. Friedrich Kretz, in his homily during the Mass of Thanksgiving presided over by Fr. Bruno Bayer, underlined the extraordinary dedication and patience with which Fr. Bruno Bayer worked all these year and thanks to his efforts, today the entire Pallottine family is able to know Pallotti more profoundly. The letters reveal the true face of Pallotti, as human being and priest. Fr. Bruno Bayer will leave the Generalate by mid February and will continue to nurture his passion for our Founder by translating the most important Letters of Pallotti into German.
