Forming, equipping, and sending young Catholics to share the Gospel and renew the Church in Europe.
The spiritual landscape of Europe is rapidly changing. Parishes are emptying, vocations are in decline, and many young people live without faith, purpose, or direction. The Church must respond—not with maintenance, but with mission.
A rising tide of secularism is disconnecting people from the Gospel and their identity in Christ.
Communities are shrinking. Fewer priests, aging congregations, and low engagement challenge local evangelization.
The Church is being restructured. New missionary movements must emerge to meet the needs of today’s world.
Many young people are hungry to serve—but lack clear pathways to respond to the missionary impulse.
A new generation is rising. They are ready to go, if we are ready to equip and send them.
Inspired by the original missionary Church, we believe it’s time to return to the radical, Spirit-filled model of the early disciples. EMC is not just a program—it’s a movement. We are still in the early days: training, discerning, listening, building. But we believe God is preparing something powerful.
God is stirring hearts across Europe. Many young people are sensing a deep desire to do something bold with their lives—to go beyond comfort and live with purpose. If you’ve ever felt a restlessness, a pull to something greater, maybe that’s more than just a feeling.
Maybe it’s a call.
“We’re not just building a program. We’re answering a call—one that echoes in the hearts of thousands across Europe who long to bring Christ to the world.”
Fr. Mark Thelen | Founder | European Mission Campus
“There’s no greater joy than witnessing people transformed through an encounter with God’s love. I took a leap—and I’ve never looked back.”
“I thought mission was something for faraway places. Now I know Europe is my mission field—and God has made it possible.”
“From the very beginning, I knew this was different. It’s not just about serving—it’s about forming a generation that lives fully for Christ.”
Working with global leaders in renewal and mission
The European Mission Campus is rooted in the spirituality of Regnum Christi, welcomes everyone and seeks to serve the entire Church in Europe. We want to make present the mystery of Christ, who reveals his love, gathers us, and forms us as his apostles and Christian leaders, sending us out to evangelize. We are closely connected to with the John Paul II Center in Vienna, as we partner to reaching out to the unchurched in Vienna and help “form apostles to transform the world.”
