Who are the Catenians?
Providing supportive friendship for over 100 years, the Catenian Association has a focus on the future and the busy, modern lives of its members. The Catenians originated as a lay association of Catholic men who met to share friendship and mutual support at a time when UK society and government still actively discriminated against them. As society evolved, the Catenian Association adapted. We now invite all Catholics to join our global community of members and their families, offering a genuine sense of belonging and connection.
