With the CDF – Ballarat Parishes and schools have access to a fund which is user friendly.

The continuing support of the Fund from parishes and schools is most important, as it ensures that we can continue our mission within the Diocese. The CDF provides a range of financial services, including fee-free accounts with a competitive return on investments and also offers low-cost loans with minimum fuss.

Our Savings and Term Investments are available to all parishes and schools.
