Catenians
We are an international brotherhood of some 10,000 members in the UK, Australia, Africa, Malta, Ireland and Hong Kong. Our friendship is not just that gained by dining and enjoying social bonds, but by caring for each other in sickness and in health, by caring for our widows, and by helping those of our membership who have suffered misfortune. We have a benevolent fund for those who have suffered misfortune and a bursary fund designed to help young Catholics seeking to help others.
