Faith in Action
"In celebrating a momentous sixty-five years for CDF, we give thanks for the faith of the people who have offered a generous and practical expression of the Gospel, sharing financial resources and beyond, and who continue to help grow the seeds of faith today into new ground."
Most Rev Peter A Comensoli
Archbishop of Melbourne
