Institute of Formation Fondacio Asia

The Institute of Formation Fondacio Asia (IFFAsia) prepares and equips young people for leadership, and helps them grow in their unique vocations, through nurturing their path of human & Christian formation.

Moreover, it opens an alternative career or life path, and helps them engage confidently as leaders with the peripheries, and to be in the mission to serve the local church and civil society.

We invite young people to take the opportunity of IFFAsia’s programs; particularly applicants from the age of 23 to 38, motivated and committed to learn and serve.

Developing Young Leaders to be Agents of Change in Society and the Asian Church

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

Therefore, 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.

Testimonies of our sending organizations

"I want to thank IFFAsia for helping and training the members of the Eucharist Youth Movement (EYM) of Saigon Archdiocese throughout these years. They have proved to be very positive and effective in the development of EYM and the lay apostolic pastoral. I hope that IFFAsia develops more (youth) in the service of the Church."

Fr. Jos Tuan Duc, Pham

Chairman, Vietnam Eucharistic Youth Movement

...five of our young people were formed in IFFAsia and now four of them are full time pastoral agents in our Church in Mongolia. So great thanks to IFFAsia, for the open collaboration, for forming this new generation of young Mongolian pastoral agents and especially for being our partners in working for the foundation and growth of our young church in Mongolia."

Fr. Ernesto Viscardi

Apostolic Prefect Delegate Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia

"All the persons who have gone through Fondacio are working hard both in the Church and outside with NGO or HIV AIDS etc. They are committed. Before they were nobody. Now after the formation, the people recognize and trust them. We would like to send more young people for formation at IFFAsia..."
