New Director, Same Mission

The addition of Father Athanasius Kone as Executive Director and Father Matthew Howell to the OCCIF board brings a unique perspective, as both have firsthand experience working with OCCIF to secure loans for their parishes. Their deep understanding of OCCIF’s mission and their commitment to its future are testaments to the organization’s impact.

New and Better Return on the OCCIF Promissory Note

Our Board of Trustees recently held our annual meeting at Elevation of the Holy Cross Church in Sacramento, CA. In discussing the current financial state of the country, we decided to simplify and improve OCCIF’s rate schedule for those wishing to invest capital. Instead of seven different levels, we’ve now simplified the table down to three tiers. Each tier has significantly improved the rate of return for our investors. Please see the new rate table and tiers and consider investing in OCCIF. Charitable alms as a donation to OCCIF would also be appreciated.
