Our Program

In embracing the new, the Institute of Formation Fondacio Asia presents an alternative approach to support a systematic path of learning and development.

We offer this to young lay adults who desire to seek direction and meaning in life, to nurture their faith and prayer life and to grow in service to the local church, society and all creation in our current times.

We encourage young people to take the opportunity of IFFAsia’s online program for this year 2021; particularly, applicants from the age of 23 to 38, who are motivated and committed to learn and to serve.
