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.
