The Catenians

Food4Thought

FOOD4THOUGHT, an idea borne out of lockdown in 2021, was an opportunity to help four inner-city Catholic Primary schools’ needy families. This initiative raised over £7000 in it’s first year and continues to flourish through donations from Brothers,wives and widows.

Our Lady of Lourdes Trust’ CEO, James McGeachie identified four schools and I approached each head teacher to finalise four families. Each school is given a monthly sum then discreetly monitors the distribution of food/vouchers.

This has had a huge impact on the families involved who are very appreciative of our efforts. Our Circle has made a difference.
