Pallottines in South Africa
Our roles are as diverse as the talents of our confreres. Everyone brings his abilities to bear, which are complemented and completed in the others. We gladly work together with all people. All Christian concerns are significant to us. We try to respond to the concerns and needs of our contemporaries through the inspiration of the Christian faith. We understand our living and working together as brothers, and with others, as a special gift of God representing him in his Trinity. Therefore community has great meaning for us.
We live differently. Rooted in faith, we live in ‘local communities’, free from the common and daily consumer needs and partnership commitments of our society. Our communities are places where a different life becomes possible for us. In this way, we remain on our search for God, who is infinite love, open to new ideas, open for encounters and open for a radical discipleship.
Together with our brothers and sisters in the Pallottine communities, we want to change the world, to make God’s love visible, to strengthen the faith in his love and ignite the joy of a fulfilling life – for all.
We want to engage Christians and others to work together to achieve justice, peace and the care of creation.
