LEGION OF APOSTOLIC FAMILIES (LOAF), an association of consecrated families committed to lead family life according to the vision of Bible and the teaching of the Magisterium of the Church and to spread these ideals among catholic families. The Church is in need of ideal families which can leaven the Church and the society as agents of transformation of all aspects of society and Christianize the world through a life of witness and catechesis. LOAF aims to be a communion of catholic families committed to this goal and ready to lead this counter-culture in our society and Church.

The idea of LOAF was initiated by Mar Andrews Thazhath, Archbishop of Trichur, the Founder. Fr. Francis Aloor took the lead to co-ordinate the first group of Couples. A group of 10 families started exploring the possibility of initiating a new association for families in early 2009. Living the Gospel and becoming Leaven in society, member families of LOAF lead a life of OBEDIENCE to God, the Holy Catholic Church and its Hierarchy, a life of Conjugal CHASTITY and fidelity to family values and a life of SIMPLICITY.
