CDFpay for Parishes: a new way for parishioners to give online
29 August 2020

Hundreds of parishes across the Dioceses of Melbourne, Bunbury and Sale are now receiving thanksgiving offerings through a new online payment portal CDFpay for Parishes. Several parishes have reported an increase in revenue, via this new platform, when compared to the same time last year.

Fr John Healy, Parish Priest at Laverton, says his parishioners are happy they have an option to make a contribution online. ‘For me personally I think it is a great initiative for the time we find ourselves in as well as for future financial options for parishioners,’ he says.

For those parishes who have already signed up we’ve created some great new resources to help you to share the good news with your community. You can also sign-up if you haven’t had the chance to register your parish already. Click here to find out more about CDFpay for Parishes.
