What is the Catenian Association?

The Catenian Association is a group of Catholic men who meet socially once a month for the free exchange of views, and to help and encourage one another and their families in their social and business lives. It was founded in Manchester in 1908 and has 11,000 members throughout Great Britain.

There are around 300 Circles throughout Great Britain, Ireland, Australia, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Hong Kong, South Africa and Malta. Members are referred to as Brothers.

Members must be practising Catholics. Applicants are sponsored by an existing member who recommends him to the Association. Potential members attend a few meetings prior to being sponsored by a member.
