From 17 to 22 January 2010, at Butare (Rwanda), a new formative experience was introduced to about 20 candidates coming from Rwanda, Democratic Republic of Congo, Burundi, Cameroon and Ivory Coast. The participants included the candidates of Preparatory Formation of the Society of the Catholic Apostolate, the novices of the Missionary Sisters of the Catholic Apostolate and the novices of the Schoenstatt Fathers. This formation session was organised in the context of collaboration among the sons and daughters of St. Vincent Pallotti and Fr. Joseph Kentenich. The principle themes were the following: the life of St. Vincent Pallotti and Fr. Joseph Kentenich; Pallottine spirituality and that of the Schoenstatt Movement, history of the foundations and, at the end, relevance of the charisms of the Pallottines and of the Schoenstatt Movement for the world today. Besides, there were also moments of common prayer, meditation and recreation.
At the end, the feast of St. Vincent Pallotti was celebrated with the participation of many UAC members as well as friends of the Pallottines.

The Vicar General Fr. Zenon Hanas and the Consulter General Fr. Gilberto Orsolin, visited the Local Community of the Society in Barbados from January 11th to 18th 2010.
Barbados is an island situated between the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean with a population of about 280.000 of which between 80 and 90% are of African origin. The Catholic Church is a minority one with about 4% of the population, however it is very much alive and active. There are seven parishes forming the one diocese of Bridgetown.
The first Pallottines, from the Polish Christ the King Province, went to Barbados in 2008 on the invitation of Archbishop Robert Rivas, OP and began pastoral work in the parish of St. Dominic, eighteen months later they extended it further. The three confreres attend the parish of St. Dominic and two other communities, they help out at the Cathedral in Bridgetown and at the school run by the Ursuline Sisters. They have also taken on responsibility for the construction of a new parish centre and of a temporary church in another parish.
In meetings with diverse ecclesial groups a great hope for the future was evident and numerous areas of pastoral work for the new Pallottine missionaries were proposed. PHOTO
