Saint Dominic became a Benedictine and eventually abbot- founder of several monasteries: Scandrilia, Sora, Sangro, and elsewhere in the old kingdom of Naples.
From this group would evolve the Pallotines, or the Society of Catholic Apostolate (called for a time the Pious Society of Missions and later the Society of Catholic Action), which had only a dozen members during his lifetime but has since grown and a corresponding society of women, the Pallottini Sisters, was established in 1843.
