The Pallottines, officially known as the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary, are a Roman Catholic religious order of priests and brothers. Founded in 1717 by Saint Peter Julian Eymard, the order is named after the Italian priest and theologian, Saint Alphonsus Liguori, who was also known as the "Doctor of the Church." The Pallottines are known for their emphasis on the Eucharist, the sacrament of marriage, and the education of youth. They are particularly active in the fields of education, social work, and parish ministry. The order is governed by a superior general and has a presence in many countries around the world. The Pallottines are known for their simple and austere way of life, focusing on prayer, study, and service to others. They are also known for their commitment to the education of youth, particularly through their schools and youth ministries. The order is dedicated to the promotion of the Christian faith and the service of God's people.
