Welcome to the India Catholic Association of Central Texas (ICA)
We are a dynamic, rapidly growing not-for-profit socio-religious organization located in Austin, Texas. We welcome you to join us. Our members come from Austin and the suburbs including Round Rock, Pflugerville, Cedar Park, Georgetown, San Marcos and San Antonio. Please visit the Join ICA page for details.
What Keeps Us Vibrant
Since 2001, we have been providing exciting opportunities for Catholics of South Asian origin to meet at various social events, and celebrate our cultural and spiritual heritage. Our event calendar includes the famed Taste of India annual fundraiser, and the enjoyable Christmas Gala. We also gather together to celebrate Easter, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, along with the ever popular Bowling Nights and Game Nights. Our first Friday Praise and Worship and first Thursday Healing Ministry meetings help us deepen and strengthen our spirituality. Every first Saturday we serve fruit to the homeless at the Bridge of Angels ministry in Austin.
Our Beginnings
Our organization was born on December 25th 2000 at the home of Austin and Eula Sequeira – our founder members. They had just moved to Austin and brought with them their experience with the India Catholic Association of America in Chicago (ICAA). Austin Sequeira registered the India Catholic Association of Central Texas as a non-profit association with the Texas Secretary of State on February 16th, 2001. Since then the ICA has scheduled regular general body meetings and executive committee elections during the annual Easter celebration.
