Activities
IKUE organizes masses during Esperanto meetings, and also each year its own week-long international convention. Associations and local groups of catholic esperantists also offer meetings (bible weekends, youth camps, etc.)
IKUE is publishing Christian literature in Esperanto, e.g. in 2001 the ecumenical prayer and hymnbook ADORU of 1,472 pages, and in 2006 the encyclical Deus Caritas Est. Its magazine Espero Katolika (Catholic Hope) first appeared in 1903.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“Both gossip and joking are intrinsically valuable activities. Both are essentially social activities that strengthen interpersonal bonds—we do not tell jokes and gossip to ourselves. As popular activities that evade social restrictions, they often refer to topics that are inaccessible to serious public discussion. Gossip and joking often appear together: when we gossip we usually tell jokes and when we are joking we often gossip as well.”
—Aaron Ben-Ze’Ev, Israeli philosopher. “The Vindication of Gossip,” Good Gossip, University Press of Kansas (1994)
“The most remarkable aspect of the transition we are living through is not so much the passage from want to affluence as the passage from labor to leisure.... Leisure contains the future, it is the new horizon.... The prospect then is one of unremitting labor to bequeath to future generations a chance of founding a society of leisure that will overcome the demands and compulsions of productive labor so that time may be devoted to creative activities or simply to pleasure and happiness.”
—Henri Lefebvre (b. 1901)
