An entity of the Australian Catholic Bishop s Conference which administers the Catholic Church, Church Resources is a quality peer organisation and our acquisition of it is a great opportunity for us. Over its 16-year lifespan, Church Resources reached a critical mass suitable for sale to an experienced and professional operator like Procurement Australia.
