From the founding days of the Union of Catholic Apostolate, Saint Vincent Pallotti encouraged a flexibility in ministry. His call was for the members be "involved in some way in the apostolate." Within the Immaculate Conception Province, Pallottine priests and brothers are involved in diverse and engaging ministries.

Bishop Eustace Preparatory School
Pennsauken, NJ
