IMCS Secretary General Ms. Evelina Manola and IMCS Asia Pacific Coordinator Mr. Ravi Tissera got the opportunity to meet Most Rev. Paul Simick, the Vicar Apostolic of Nepal on 23^rd of October 2016 during their visit to Kathmandu, Nepal. IMCS representatives were warmly welcomed with local custom of handing over Khada shawls by Bishop Simick in the Assumption Church, the Cathedral of Kathmandu.

Being an alumnus of AICUF (All India Catholic Undergraduate Federation) the IMCS member of movement of India during his college days, Bishop Simick conveyed his gratitude to the IMCS about taking the interest to continue the mission with the Nepali students and gave his blessings to initiate the movement again in the Nepal among undergraduate level catholic students. IMCS representatives could meet Fr. Jiju Varghese, S.J. the principal and Fr. Jomon Jose, S.J. of St. Xavier’s College to discuss further about the initiative.
