The Diocese of Parramatta is delighted to announce the establishment of Parramatta Catholic Foundation, which will replace the Diocesan Works Fund, and expand on its good works.

Parramatta Catholic Foundation needs to raise $2.5 million annually to sustain the works of the Church in Western Sydney and the Blue Mountains - including the formation of our seminarians, providing Christian education in public schools, the empowering of our disabled with job training, supporting our deaf and housing vulnerable single mothers facing homelessness.

To achieve these great works, Parramatta Catholic Foundation proudly supports Holy Spirit Seminary, The Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, the Ephpheta Centre and CatholicCare.

Donations of $2 or more to Parramatta Catholic Foundation are tax deductible.

Parramatta Catholic Foundation will also manage The Catholic Fund, which will house gifts such as bequests and donations for special projects. Donations to this fund are not tax deductible. Parramatta Catholic Foundation aims to annually increase donations to further sustain, grow and expand the good works from our faithful in the Diocese – building faith, hope and charity across Western Sydney and the Blue Mountains.
