We know the Church will use the shared interest from our investment for the common good. We have trust in the diocese and bishop as to where they decide the distribution is best applied. Our CDF (business) account sets aside surplus funds as well as saving for our regular GST and annual tax payments. It’s reassuring knowing that our savings are helping our community.
