International Movement of Catholic Students (IMCS)
The International Movement of Catholic Students (IMCS) is a global organization of Catholic students that was founded in 1921 in Fribourg, Switzerland. It was established in response to the growing secularization of universities and the need to provide spiritual support and guidance to Catholic students.
From its earliest days, the IMCS has been committed to promoting the spiritual, intellectual, and social development of Catholic students. It encourages them to be active in their faith, to engage with the world around them, and to work for justice and peace.
The IMCS has a decentralized structure, with national organizations in more than 80 countries. Each national organization is responsible for coordinating the activities of local groups and representing their interests at the international level.
The IMCS has been involved in a wide range of activities over the years, including organizing retreats, pilgrimages, and study programs for Catholic students. It has also been active in promoting social justice and human rights, supporting campaigns against poverty, hunger, and discrimination, and advocating for the protection of the environment.
In addition, the IMCS has played a key role in promoting dialogue between different cultures and religions. It has participated in numerous interfaith initiatives, including the World Council of Churches and the World Conference on Religion and Peace.
Throughout its history, the IMCS has been guided by a commitment to the values of the Gospel and the social teachings of the Catholic Church. Its work has been rooted in the belief that young people have the power to make a positive difference in the world, and that they have a responsibility to use their talents and abilities to serve others.
