The Italian Catholic Federation (ICF) is a Christian, family oriented, non-profit fraternal organization dedicated to promoting activities that build faith and family spirit and bring men, women, and children of all ages together.
St. Bede's Branch 374 of the ICF was established in 1984 and is especially dedicated to supporting the parish, our parishioners, and the needs of the Catholic faith. ICF's charitable works include scholarships to parishioner students, funding for vocations at St. John Seminary and funding for the purchase of a specially designed and built Ambry for the Sanctuary. Each year, Branch 374 hosts a St. Joseph's Table to raise funds by selling delicious homemade goods.
In addition to philanthropic work, Italian Catholic Federation Branch 374 provides opportunities for camaraderie and spiritual growth to members through the monthly meeting activities.
Membership is open to people of all ethnic backgrounds. The only requirement is that all members must be Catholic and support the St. Francis inspired motto of "Preach the Gospel at all times, use words when needed". If you are interested in joining, contact the Parish Center at 818 949 4300.
