Our Legacy: Foundations of a Movement (1887 – 1921) – IMCS Pax Romana’s journey began in 1887 with a vision of empowering young people to champion peace and social justice. Through decades of growth and resilience, this vision became a global movement formally established in 1921 as Pax Romana. Each milestone in our history reflects the dedication of countless young leaders and an unwavering commitment to a Spirituality of Action for the common good.
