Catholic development Fund: Recently during the Royal Commission into
Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, the Catholic Development Fund
(CDF) was referred to. The CDF is a cooperative where certain Catholic
organisations and some individuals lodge investments. Bishop Paul has written a
letter pointing out that the diocese has no access to funds lodged with the CDF except
for deposits which the diocese itself has made. A copy of the Bishops letter is in the
Gathering Space.
