The Malines Congresses were a series of Catholic Congresses held in Mechelen, Belgium, with the purpose of bringing together Catholics with leading roles in all walks of life, on the model of the German Katholikentage. The first three, held in 1863, 1864 and 1867, had considerable cultural, social and political impact. They lay at the foundation of the future development of a Catholic Party in Belgian politics, as well as a nascent Social Catholicism. The first congress saw the establishment of the Guild of Saint Thomas and Saint Luke, which shaped Belgian Gothic Revival architecture and art education. The main organiser of the first three congresses was Édouard Ducpétiaux, who died in 1868.
