Pastoral Commission
Purpose and mission of the FICEP Pastoral Commission

The Church endeavours to take up its temporal missions in the spirit of Christ, in "communion" with all believers. It considers sport to be an opportunity for the human being to grow spiritually as an individual within the family, educational, Christian and social setting. It is on this basis that the FICEP Pastoral Commission has determined the following goals as part of its commitments concerning the finality of FICEP :
    1. It desires to promote the development of sportsmen and sportswomen after the Christian model while being aware of the dangers present in the field of sport :
    • through declarations made in the context of the FICEP Congress,
    • through co-operation in planning the youth camps, Masters’ and other FICEP sporting events
    • and more generally, in the relationship between the Church and sport.

    2. It introduces into FICEP, its Steering Committee, its commissions and affiliated associations Christian values in the fields of sports, culture and education.

    3. It is committed to a humanitarian and Christian culture within the context of FICEP through the creation of suitable infrastructure.

    4. It offers the other commissions the benefit of its co-operation, especially through individual assistance and logistical aid to the FICEP infrastructure.

    5. It leads discussion and projects based on a "sporting pastorale " in the construction of the "European House". It takes the specific nature of each member state into account, while always bearing in mind the goals shared by all Christians.

This huge task requires a constant flow of information and communication, both within the Pastoral Commission itself as well as with other FICEP commissions. In order to successfully achieve its mission, The Pastoral Commission relies on the constant support of the Sports Commission, the Youth Commission and that of FICEP’s Steering Committee.
