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.

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT:

700th Meeting; Still Going Strong (May 2025)

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.

Our friendships are developed through meeting together locally as an individual circle ( branch) once a month and enjoying a varied programme of social events together with our families and the widows of members.

The Catenian association was founded in 1908 Manchester. It now have some 8,000 members in Africa, Australia, Bangladesh, India, Ireland, Malta and The Holy Land as well as the UK.
