Welcome to the CDF
The idea behind any investment is to put your money to work. Which is all well and good, but have you ever thought about what it could do in its spare time?
At the Catholic Development Fund, we have. When you invest with us, you have a chance to give a little back to the pastoral work of the Church. While your money is earning a competitive financial return it is also assisting the archbishop in providing programs in your parish and across the archdiocese.
Like any managed fund, the CDF is able to increase earnings by pooling the resources of depositors. Part of the resulting earnings, which any normal financial institution would retain for itself, is then used to provide social services and underwrite the pastoral and liturgical work of the archdiocese.
CDF investment policy is built around:
- Providing loans for the building of parish facilities, schools, aged care residences and hospitals.
- Stable banking products - and, everyone of the CDF investments is guaranteed by the archdiocese.
You have the security of knowing not only that your money is well invested, but that it is doing some good as well.

The CDF Board inservice day on Saturday 16 January proved a great success. Input was provided by Mr Herbie O'Flynn, Fr Brian Lucas, Mr Paul Friend and Mr Ross Power. During the afternoon session Board members undertook a SWOT analysis, that is, identifying 'strengths', 'weaknesses', 'opportunities' and 'threats'.
Mr Ross Power & Mr Dominic Kelly.
