Dans un contexte troublé, cultiver l’espérance, à l’occasion des prochaines élections.

25 June 2024

Dans un contexte troublé, cultiver l’espérance, à l’occasion des prochaines élections.

 

« Plus les temps sont troublés, plus nous avons besoin de sagesse, une sagesse politique ancrée courageusement dans la tradition humaniste », ont affirmé Mgr Laurent Le Boulc'h, archevêque de Lille, Mgr Vincent Dollmann, archevêque de Cambrai, et Mgr Olivier Leborgne, évêque d'Arras, dans un communiqué le 10 juin dernier.


L’Université Catholique souhaite promouvoir cette sagesse. Située à Lille, au coeur de l’Europe, elle fédère des établissements dans tous les champs du service à la société (formation, recherche, prendre soin), qui placent la personne humaine au centre de leurs actions. Ils croient à la capacité de progrès et à la construction d’une société plus solidaire.


Laboratoire vivant de la pensée sociale chrétienne apportant sa contribution, au coeur des transitions, à l’émergence d’une société plus juste et plus inclusive, l’Université Catholique de Lille accueille l’être humain confronté à la fragilité, l’isolement, l’incertitude. Elle coopère avec le monde économique, associatif et culturel, et s’inscrit dans son territoire. Elle souhaite préserver l’environnement et la nécessaire construction de l’Europe. Autant de missions essentielles à relever dans l’espérance.


Que cette espérance nous rassemble et éclaire nos choix dans les échéances démocratiques décisives qui s’annoncent.

    24th European Summer Program! 

    From May 22 to July 24, the University is again hosting the largest and oldest of our Learn In Lille, Live Europe (LILLE) programs. Since its launch in 2001, the LILLE European Summer Program (ESP) has welcomed an increasing number of international students each year. This season, the program sets a new record with almost 300 participants from all corners of the globe.

    The ESP is structured into two 4-week sessions, and allows every participant to take two courses (for transferable credit) out of around twenty offered by the schools and faculties of our university federation, often in cooperation with our partner universities abroad.

    As usual, the program offers numerous outings, including visits to Bruges, Brussels, and WWI battlefield sites, as well as more local tours, and some exciting intercultural activities, such as the popular international evening, for which the students showcase aspects of their own home countries.

    Little Miracle of Lille: Candlelight Mass

    The Université Catholique de Lille was recently featured in an article from National Catholic Register, highlighting its candlelight Mass.

    In 2016, the chaplaincy here at Université Catholique de Lille launched this initiative, that has since then enjoyed an unexpected and exponential success. The event continues to bring more and more students together.

    Every Tuesday evening at 10pm, between 800 and 900 students gather in the University Chapel for this Mass.
