A new branch of the Italian Catholic Federation (ICF) celebrated its grand opening recently at American Martyrs Catholic Church in Manhattan Beach. Sixty-seven members were initiated as founding charter members of Branch #447.
Founded in 1924, the ICF is a nonprofit, family-oriented organization open to men, women, and children of all ages and heritages. With thousands of members across four states, the ICF participates in social, religious and heritage-themed events, takes part in apostolic and charitable works in the church and community, and supports college scholarships and seminarian education.
