The ADF was created in 1969 through the foresight of the then Archbishop of Brisbane, the Most Reverend Patrick O’Donnell DD.

At the time the Church’s capacity within the Archdiocese to mount its pastoral programs and to respond to the needs of the Archdiocesan community rested significantly on the ADF’s effectiveness and its capacity to generate funds for those purposes. This need continues unabated today as does the ADF’s commitment to fund capital development and pastoral programmes within the Archdiocese and the wider Church within Australia.

The ADF prides itself on its unique understanding of its valued customers, and continues to place a high priority on customer service and managing relationships with our key stakeholders.
