The Catenians are men who practise the Catholic faith which guides all that they seek to do. They have pledged themselves to a bond of fraternal love which links them to each other. ‘Catena’ is Latin for a chain, and the title ‘Catenians’ exemplifies the continuity of the Brotherhood throughout the world.

Who We Are

The Catenians are an association of Catholic laymen who are committed Christians seeking to enhance their friendships and family lives. We support each other, the Catholic Church, young people and those in need.
