The Catholic Development Fund, an agency of the Catholic Diocese of Sale, was launched in October 1984 by the then Bishop of Sale, Bishop Eric D'Arcy, now retired Archbishop of Hobart.
The CDF is a unique organisation, which gives the Catholic community an opportunity to save their funds and receive competitive interest rates while supporting the mission of the church. The CDF pools the financial resources of the Diocese, parishes, schools and parishioners. Money invested is used to provide low cost loans for capital projects in parishes and schools across the Diocese.
The CDF provides a full banking service to all schools and parishes across the Diocese with access to the most modern banking practices.
The CDF provides a range of savings accounts for individuals. The Catholic Development Fund, Diocese of Sale, is not subject to the provisions of the Corporation Act 2001 nor has it been examined or approved by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission. Deposits with the Catholic Development Fund, Diocese of Sale, are guaranteed by CDPF Limited, a company established by the Australian Catholic Bishops' Conference for this purpose. We welcome your investment with the Catholic Development Fund, Diocese of Sale, rather than with a profit orientated commercial organisation as a conscious commitment by you to support the Charitable, Religious and Educational works of the Catholic Church.
Neither the Catholic Development Fund, Diocese of Sale nor the trustees of the Roman Catholic Trust Corporation of the Diocese of Sale are prudentially supervised by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority. Contributions to the Catholic Development Fund, Diocese of Sale do not obtain the benefit of the depositor protection provisions of the Banking Act 1959. The Catholic Development Fund, Diocese of Sale is designed for investors who wish to promote the charitable purposes of the Catholic Diocese of Sale.
