Communauté Chrétienne,
gathering students around
the Christian Faith
For more than 20 years, the Communauté Chrétienne gathers Parisian students around the Christian
faith in a friendly, spiritual and intellectual environment.
What has this action / project
brought you?
Émile JOSEPH (23)
President of the Communauté
Chrétienne Student Association
Can you describe your Association
in a few words?
Founded in 2000, the Communauté
Chrétienne is an ESCP BS student association
part of Chrétiens en Grande Ecole
that musters the chaplaincies1
of France's
top universities.
Our goal is to develop a community of
catholic students who share the wish to
deepen their relationship with God and
their understanding of the Christian message.
We are committed to promoting the
values of open-mindedness, love, companionship
and also intellectual excellency.
Our two main activities are :
* Attending our weekly mass at Saint
Ambroise Church followed by a friendly
dinner around pizzas
* Organising conferences and inviting
renowned personalities such as JeanMarc
Sauvé, the vice-president of the
Independent Commission on Sexual
Abuse in the Church (Ciase) in France.
1. A chaplaincy is a community of believers leaded by a chaplain whose role is to guide them in their understanding of God and to help them solve spiritual (and personal, if asked)
difficulties. The chaplain has to be faithful and supportive since they are often not only a member of the Catholic Church, but also a counsellor.

Being part of ESCP BS' Communauté
Chrétienne has allowed me to build precious
relationships founded not only on
shared interests and mutual respect, but also
on the same attachment toward Christianity.
I believe that this is one of the strengths
of our student association and that is one
of the keys to tone up Christians communities
in France and around the world. As
Christians, our personal relationship with
God is nourished in particular by communicating
with people from every background
and religion and by trying to spread love
and charity toward every human being. I
was also delighted to participate in stimulant
conversations that sometimes challenged
my spiritual, intellectual, personal and
moral beliefs for the better.
A message to share with ESCP
Europe alumni?
We are proud to represent a group of students
united by the same interests as well as
ESCP Business School. We deeply share its
values of respect and intellectual Excellence
rooted in the European Humanism and
History. Every student and alumnus is more
than welcome to contribute to our student
association and to debate with us around
some beers brewed by French monks.
