2019 marked 50 years since the ADF was established. Throughout this time, the ADF has supported the Catholic community across a number of different sectors including health care, aged care, education, social welfare and social and affordable housing.
In 2019, the ADF continued to deliver a strong financial performance despite unprecedented economic challenges allowing the ADF to provide a $17m distribution to the Archdiocese to fund key pastoral ministries and initiatives. Our 2019 Annual Report further details our financial performance as well as works we have undertaken to support our community and customers. The Annual Report can be found here.
The Catholic Leader, in their most recent publication discusses the successful launch of our new Parish Giving App and the positive impact it is having.
Emilie Ng, journalist for The Catholic Leader writes ‘On Brisbane’s northside, parish priest of Little Flower Church, Kedron, Fr Mario Debattista said the app was “another opportunity for people to give if they want to give”.
“It just gives another opportunity for people to offer something to the parish, which we appreciate especially at this time,” Fr Debattista said.
Fr Debattista acknowledged that older parishioners might “prefer the old-fashioned way” of giving to the parish but said “it is definitely a help”.’ The article can be found in full in the May 17, 2020 edition of The Catholic Leader
Now, more than ever, our Parishes need support to continue pastoral activities and to provide ongoing sustainability. To assist the faithful to continue their support during this time of isolation, the ADF has helped to develop a new Parish Giving App, which is now available online http://parishgiving.brisbanecatholic.org.au/ and via
There will be no upfront or fixed ongoing costs for using the App other than a merchant service fee per donation processed.
Please feel free to contact your Relationship Manager, or simply complete a Parish Giving App Application Form here.
