1947: The division of Pax
Romana into students and intellectuals
At the 26th World Congress of Pax
Romana in 1947, Pax Romana officially divided itself into two autonomous

The two branches would, however, continue to work together and share a common
secretariat until 1977.

the Holy Jubilee Year of 1950, IMCS Pax Romana helped organize a
pilgrimage to Rome for five-thousand graduates and undergraduates.
