and Empower the Leaders of Tomorrow

Be a part of the Revolution

Invest in Faith, Leadership and Justice

As we prepare for the sacred seasons of Advent, Christmas, and New Year, we are reminded of the hope, love, and joy that Christ’s birth brings to the world. This year, as we celebrate our encounter with Pope Francis on September 20, 2024, we are inspired by his powerful call: “Be protagonists of the revolution of charity and service.”

Join the IMCS Pax Romana “Invest in Us” Movement to shape a brighter future for Catholic students worldwide! This is more than a campaign—it’s a call to action to invest in faith, leadership, and justice.

A Hub for Learning and Activism

The IMCS Pax Romana Institute

The Pax Romana Institute in La Roche-sur-Foron, France, is the heart of IMCS-MIEC Pax Romana’s mission to transform global education and activism. This dynamic hub empowers students, young professionals, and activists worldwide to tackle global challenges and drive meaningful change.

Build with Us in Nairobi

We invite you to partner with us in constructing the Youth Formation Centre in Nairobi, a key initiative to amplify the voices of African youth.

Your support will play a transformative role in shaping future leaders and changemakers.
