The Catenian Association

The Catenian Association was started in 1908 in Manchester and has since expanded across the UK, Ireland, Malta, Australia, Zambia, Zimbabwe and South Africa. The first Circle in Goa, India was established in 2009,  with a second being established a little while later. The Catenian Association provides practising Catholic laymen and their families with friendship, social activities and support. We promote and support The Catenian Association Benevolent and Children's Fund ("the Benevolent Fund") and the Catenian Bursary Fund. This fund exists to help young Catholics between 16 and 24 to undertake voluntary work that benefits other people and assists a volunteer's personal development. We also organise a national Public Speaking competition and many other events throughout the year. We have a current membership of over 10,000 members, and are being successful in recruiting new members even in these difficult times.

During the centenary year of the Association in 2008, a quarter of a million pounds was raised to provide fresh clean water in village communities in Zimbabwe. The money is being administered by the relief agencies CAFOD and Caritas Africa. Our members n the Zimbabwe Circles keep us informed of developments.
