About us

The Institute for World Evangelisation – ICPE Mission was founded in Malta in 1985 by Mario and Anna Cappello, along with a Catholic lay community committed to spreading the love and knowledge of Christ.

As time progressed, the community discerned a distinct calling to prioritize Worship and Evangelisation on an international scale, guided by the prompting of the Lord.

During the late 1980s and throughout the 1990s, the ICPE Mission experienced significant growth and expansion. Various Schools of Mission and evangelistic initiatives were launched in numerous countries worldwide, resulting in a substantial increase in the community’s membership. Additionally, prayer groups and local communities sought affiliation with the ICPE Mission following comprehensive formation programmes.

On May 19, 2002, the Feast of Pentecost, the Holy See bestowed upon the Institute for World Evangelisation – ICPE Mission the status of International Association of Christ’s Faithful with Pontifical Right, affirming its commitment to the universal mission of the Church.

Since then, the ICPE Mission has seen a flourishing in vocations among its members for the consecrated life and the priesthood.  As a result, in 2014, the Mission established a House of Formation to form its missionary priests.

Today, the ICPE Mission is spread across all continents and is present in numerous countries, including Australia, Colombia, Germany, Ghana, India, Indonesia, Sicily, Malaysia, Malta, New Zealand, the Philippines, Poland, Singapore, South Korea, and the USA.
