Vincent Pallotti
April 21, 1795 — January 22, 1850
Vincent Pallotti resigned an assistant professorship at Sapienza University to serve Rome's poor and dying, then in 1835 founded the Union of the Catholic Apostolate — the first movement to enlist all the faithful, lay and clergy alike, in the Church's mission. He contracted fatal pleurisy while tending a sick man in the rain and died on January 22, 1850, aged fifty-four; his body, exhumed twice, was found incorrupt.
