Students of St. Xavier’s College of Maitigar, Kathmandu have celebrated the Holy mass, marking the official start of an IMCS movement in the Nepal on 16^th of November 2016. IMCS has had connections with Nepali students for few decades and during the past few years the connections had been disrupted and a new initiative had been needed for years.

Previously the Nepalese student movement was based in the parish level. With the permission of Apostolic Vicar of Nepal, Bishop Paul Simick and the principal of St. Xavier’s College, Fr. Jiju Varghese S.J., thorough this new initiative, catholic students will have the opportunity to join with the international catholic students to continue their faith in actions to contribute to the IMCS global mission of a world of justice and peace. Fr. Jomon Jose, the chaplain of the IMCS Nepal joined with the students to celebrate the Holy Mass and to guide the initial meeting of the student movement.
