Integrated Family Development Forum IFDF
Family Apostolate
The Congregation of Holy Family (CHF), founded in 1914 by Saint Mariam Thresia, a mystic and stigmatist, in Puthenchira, Kerala, India, is dedicated to the holistic development and support of families. The Family Apostolate is central to CHF’s mission and spirituality, and the organization is deeply committed to it. The Family Apostolate Ministry focuses on the spiritual, emotional, and social well-being of families, offering a wide range of activities and programs designed to support and nurture family life, helping families grow in faith and love. In 1986, the Integrated Family Development Forum (IFDF) was established in Vadookara, Thrissur, to coordinate the activities of the Family Apostolate in the CHF Navajyothi Province.
