1 catholicdevelopmentfund 213 ANNUAL REPORT ARCHDIOCESE OF SYDNEY

2 MESSAGE FROM THE CARDINAL CHAIRMAN S REPORT This year marks the 2th Anniversary of the inception of the Sydney Catholic Development Fund (CDF). I believe this is a significant milestone as the CDF has always based its endeavours on the good works of the Catholic Church within the Archdiocese of Sydney and its charitable works. These endeavours are possible only by the ongoing loyal support from our Clergy, our Parishes, our Schools, the Catholic Education Office and all the Religious Congregations and Agencies who put their trust and faith in the CDF. Your support is deeply appreciated by me and by all who benefit from the CDF s work. During this anniversary year, the Fund has seen its asset base grow to over $81 million and it continues to grow through astute and careful planning and the reliable judgement of its Advisory Board and Management. Many of the most important capital works in the Archdiocese would not occur without the internal funding made possible by the CDF. Equally, many of the pastoral works simply would not be possible to the extent they are today without the funds provided to the Archdiocese by the CDF over these years. As we look back on these 2 years and indeed this financial year particularly, we can take great pride in the contributions made by everyone who s been involved with the CDF. I would especially like to express my sincere appreciation to the Advisory Board and the Management and staff for their ongoing commitment to the mission of the Church. The first 2 years of the CDF have provided a much worthy foundation for the Archdiocese of Sydney, may I take this opportunity to commend the CDF to you and ask for God s continued blessings on the CDF, its Advisory Board, clients and staff in the years ahead. In this 2th Anniversary year, on behalf of the Advisory Board of the CDF, I have great pleasure in presenting to you the 213 Annual Report. Firstly, may I acknowledge sincerely and with gratitude, the professionalism, commitment and charitable use of the time and the skills of my fellow Advisory Board members. My thanks also goes to the CDF Management and staff, whose hard-work, dedication and expertise, continues to help build a secure and trusted CDF providing our clients with excellent service and a wide range of quality products and services. The CDF s business model is prudentially sound and once again, the 212/13 results are proof of its strength. Assets grew by over 5% to $81 million and investments grew by over 5% to $761 million. The surplus result was a healthy $16.2 million, up by 5.8%. The CDF distributed to Parishes and the Archdiocese over $11M and indeed, since the CDF commenced in 1993, has distributed over $11 million to the Parishes and the Archdiocese. This is a remarkable record of achievement and one which everyone associated with the CDF over the past 2 years should be proud. There is no doubt, this continuing success story cannot be realised without the loyalty and support from our Parishes, schools, Archdiocesan agencies, religious congregations and other Church entities. These results are a testament to your past support which is greatly appreciated and we look forward to providing even greater levels of service in the 213/14 year. Sincerely in Christ, Sincerely in Christ, Mons John Usher Chairman 2 catholicdevelopmentfund 213 Annual Report 3
