Young Catholic Students Movement - St. Benedict's College Young Catholic Students Movement Conducted by the Students of St. Benedict's College, Colombo 13. b. c. d.

The International Young Catholic Students (IYCS), also known as the Young Christian Students, has its roots in the development of several YCS national movements in the late 1920’s in Belgium and France. Since its creation, YCS movement grew in the spirit of the Specialized Catholic Action movements that were inspired by Joseph Cardijn (the founder of the Young Christian Workers) with the methodolo

gy of See-Judge-Act. In 1946, just at the end of the Second World War, the International Coordination was established in Paris - France. Today, the International Secretariat is coordinating 85 national movements across the continent. The IYCS has a General Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Commission (ECOSOC) of the United Nations, and an Operational Status with UNESCO in 1998. IYCS is recognized by the Holy See and since the World Council of Kampala in 2007, has the private juridical statute according to the Canon Law 298-311 and 321-329. YCS by addressing to students have some specific objectives which can be resume to:

a. Evangelize student milieu and promote students apostolate, by responding to their specific needs and stressing their responsibility. Bring together students seeking community; give them a space for formations and actions in the social vision of the Catholic Church at various levels. Promote a global solidarity among students and young people for joint reflections and actions leading for a more equitable social order. Give students more resources, pedagogies and methodology to integrate their Christian faith to their intellectual and social lives.

Corpus Christi 2026

The College celebrates the Feast of Corpus Christi, a sacred occasion that invites the Benedictine family to reflect on opening our hearts to Jesus, so that the Body and Blood of Christ may strengthen our faith, unite our community, and fill our hearts with His love and grace.

The College YCS had the privilege of organizing this celebration, and we extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Liturgy Committee for their dedicated cooperation and invaluable support in making this event a meaningful and prayerful experience.

May the Eucharistic Lord continue to bless our College community, guiding us in faith, hope, and love, and inspiring us to live as true witnesses of Christ in our daily lives.

God's blessings upon us all.✝️🙏

Solemnity of Our Lady of Sri Lanka

We come together to honour Our Lady of Lanka as the guiding light and loving Mother of our nation. For generations, she has inspired faith, hope, and unity in the hearts of all who turn to her in prayer.

May her blessings strengthen our spirits, nurture harmony within our communities, and remind us of our higher calling to live with justice, compassion, and faith. We humbly entrust our beloved college into her gracious hands.

Under her gentle guidance, may we find the courage to overcome challenges, the wisdom to act with integrity, and the hope to build a brighter and more united future for our school and for our Motherland, Sri Lanka. 🙏

Our Lady of Lanka, pray for us.
