Investing for Catholics Welcomes Father Séamus Finn, OMI

It is with great joy that Investing for Catholics welcomes Father Séamus Finn, OMI as a consultant to advance our goal of education about Catholic values-based investing. Father Finn is the Director of Justice, Peace and the Integrity of Creation for the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate.

A globe-trotting priest on a mission of accountability at the highest corporate level, Father Finn represents the Oblates at the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility in New York (ICCR www.iccr.org); a coalition of faith based and socially responsible investors who work together to engage corporations. The coalition’s more than $100 billion is invested to promote the integration of faith-based values into the investment process. Father Finn also represents the Oblates on the executive committee of the International Interfaith Investment Group (3IG www.3ignet.org).

We are so excited about integrating Father Finn’s unparalleled experience and level of commitment to promote Catholic values, and to act as a bridge to marry the core values of Catholic investment leaders with a viable and prudent investment strategy available to individual and institutional investors!

“The recent financial crisis revealed a lack of adequate transparency and regulatory enforcement and a clear absence of appropriate risk management and monitoring. The opportunity for all Catholics to invest their assets in a manner that can avoid these hazards is a very powerful one,” Father Finn stated.

Father Finn will lend his vast expertise to assist Investing for Catholics, empowering us to expand our goal to educate all Catholics about the importance of faith-based investing that protects the sanctity, preservation and integrity of human life and family.

Investing for Catholics is dedicated to total transparency when it comes to costs, risks and expected returns. Our vast reams of data support faith-based investing strategies that are global diversified and seek to follow a highly prudent approach.
