Students integrating knowledge and faith to help create a better society

IMCS Pax Romana is the International Movement of Catholic Students which brings together over 80 diverse national federations, associations, and movements of Catholic university and tertiary students from six regions.

Linda Bordoni spoke to IMCS International President, Charles Ochero, from South Sudan. He explains that the movement was founded in 1921, under the name of Pax Romana with the aim of promoting peace and justice at the global level.

After revealing that he was visiting Rome to make connection with a number of Pontifical Councils in order to prepare for the upcoming World Youth Day in Rio de Janeiro, Ochero said the organization's aim has always been to help in the holistic formation of students around the globe.

He says that as a Catholic students' movement, IMCS' main mission is the evangelisation of the student milieu. Students are encouraged to live their faith by getting involved in society, locally, nationally and internationally.

Ochero says that inspired by Jesus' teachings and the Gospel values, IMCS encourages students to live a Spirituality in Action, linking faith, intellect and service of others through praying, reflecting, and acting on issues at all levels of society.
