The Italian Catholic Federation has a rich history that extends back to the early 1900s. Learn more about how the ICF began by reading about its origins, hear an oral history from those who knew its founders, view photographs from past events including conventions and inaugurations, and hear the ICF’s official song.

The Italian Catholic Federation (ICF) is a 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. By joining a local branch, ICF members share their culture, heritage and religious beliefs. We believe that together we accomplish more than one can alone. We are active in various cultural events throughout the country, support our local parishes, and provide various charities with financial and other support.
