About Us

Archbishop Wilson welcomes your support of the Catholic Development Fund

“It is easy to make choices that benefit oneself, one’s family or one’s business but there are also choices you can make that will benefit others.

That is why I welcome your support of the Archdiocese of Adelaide through the Catholic Development Fund. By choosing to join CDF, you are directly contributing to the religious, educational and charitable works within our Archdiocese.

This provides a wonderful opportunity to contribute in a very specific way to our work together to faithfully strengthen the Church here in our own Archdiocese.

Thankfully many individuals and organisations in the Archdiocese have already taken this opportunity and opened a CDF account. Through their support many successful projects have been completed. I invite you to join them and me in building our future Church”.

Archbishop Philip Wilson
