About Us

What is the Italian Catholic Federation?

Founded in San Francisco in 1924, the Italian Catholic Federation (ICF) is a family-oriented organization dedicated to promoting activities that build faith and family spirit among men, women and children of all ages. By joining a local branch, ICF members share their heritage and Catholic faith, and assist in charitable works. We believe that together we accomplish more than one can alone. We:

  • are active in various cultural events throughout the country,
  • assist our local parishes,
  • support local and national charities,
  • support seminarian education,
  • provide grants to individuals with disabilities to assist them towards greater independence,
  • award college scholarships,
  • recognize humanitarian work in the community with national awards, and
  • provide various charities with financial and other support

The ICF is a California 501(c)(8), non-profit, fraternal organization. It includes a governing Central Council, with Districts and Branches currently located throughout Arizona, California, Illinois and Nevada.

Branch 380 was established on March 5, 1985.  Today, our branch enjoys a thriving membership that includes men, women, and children of all ages. We plan and participate in many events throughout the year such as monthly general meetings with interesting programs, support of parish and school functions, an annual pilgrimage to the Cabrini Shrine, dinners for the homeless, and many other events including bus trips as well as various fundraisers.

Our largest fundraiser of the year is the St Joseph’s Day bake sale and dinner held in March, in which we erect a traditional altar to St Joseph with food donations and decorations, and members join together to serve homemade Italian dinners and bake sale items to parishioners and other guests.
