An introduction to ViCAFaman

Vietnamese Catholic Family Mutual Assistance Network Inc. (ViCaFaMAN) is a non-profit organisation established on 17 November 2011 by twelve founding members at St Ignatius’ Church, 326 Church Street, Richmond, Victoria.

The Association operates exclusively within Victoria, with four offices located across the state—East, West, South, and North. While rooted in Catholic values, we warmly welcome Vietnamese individuals of all faiths.

Organisational Structure

  • Executive Committee: 5 elected members serving a 3-year term
  • Regional Representatives: Appointed for each of the four regions
  • Specialised Committees:
    • Advisory Board
    • Administration Committee
    • Finance Committee
    • Technical Committee
    • Communications Committee

The Executive Committee meets monthly, and the Extended Executive Committee (including all regional and specialised committees) meets every two months.

Annual Events

Thanksgiving Mass followed by an Annual General Meeting (AGM) held once a year in September or October.

Our Mission

Our primary goal is to support families of deceased members by helping them cover some of funeral costs. This is made possible through the contributions of our living members.

Today, we have around 2,400 members across Victoria, with one-third of them being non-Catholic.

Community Engagement

To foster a strong and connected community, we host monthly activities in each region including:

  • Tai Chi
  • Karaoke
  • Chess
  • Health and legal talks
  • Computer classes
  • Outings
  • Line Dancing

These activities promote both physical and mental well-being, while nurturing a spirit of unity and belonging among our members.

Looking Ahead

Through our compassionate mission, well-structured organisation, and vibrant community life, ViCaFaMAN remains dedicated to serving Vietnamese families and building a supportive, inclusive community across Victoria.
