One of the major objectives of the Catenian Association is to support Catholic youth.
It does this in a number of ways, through its Bursary Fund which supports young people engaged in projects in the third world, working with Catholic Societies in a number of Universities and through its sponsorship of the Catenian Public Speaking Competition.
The Public Speaking Competition is held annually with regional heats being held in each of the eighteen Catenian Provinces, with the aim of developing the participants self confidence and presentational skills.
