We are IMCS Pax Romana, Asia Pacific
IMCS Pax Romana Asia Pacific is part of a global movement dedicated to empowering Catholic students to contribute towards a world of justice and peace. With a rich history dating back to 1921, we stand as a beacon for student-led activism, promoting equality, solidarity, and holistic transformation. Guided by our mission, we foster a community that seeks critical reflection and positive societal change, anchored by our motto “Pax Christi in Regno Christi”—the Peace of Christ in the Kingdom of Christ.
Our structure supports effective collaboration, with coordination teams, boards, and working commissions driving our initiatives across the region. Our dedicated centres, including the Pax Romana Centennial Centre in France and the International Youth Training Centre in Thailand, play a pivotal role in training future leaders for today’s challenges. Through meaningful partnerships and strong networks, we continue to advocate for justice, peace, and sustainable development.
