Giving back, together
Christian charity is fundamental to our members, and so charity has always been a fundamental part of the Catenians. We were founded with a prime focus on the provision of development, training and opportunity for Catholic youth throughout the world. Today our members continue that support led by our own special-purpose charity the Catenian Bursary Fund.
But our charitable efforts don’t stop there – our Groups, Circle and Provinces also support many other local charitable causes, both Christian and secular, and in the past year throughout the UK alone, they raised over £272,000 for local charities.
