Uniting Mission, Service, and Community
At CDF, we believe that collaboration is key to creating positive change. Our Catholic Connect workshops are a platform for bringing Catholic organisations across Melbourne and regional Victoria together to share ideas, build networks, and work toward a shared mission of service.
In 2024, over 280 participants from more than 30 Catholic organisations joined forces to foster meaningful connections and spark impactful conversations. The year’s final workshop was a testament to the strength and vibrancy of this growing network, united in its dedication to making a difference in the communities we serve.
We invite organisations across the not-for-profit, social service, health, aged care, education, and faith-based sectors to join us in 2025 as we continue this journey of working together to achieve more.
Topics for exploration in 2025 will include:
