The Catenian Association is an international organisation for practising Catholic laymen providing them and their families with friendship, social activities and support.
We meet socially in local branches known as Circles. Members refer to each other as brothers reflecting the strength of the mutual support they give to each other and their families, which is based on the shared values of their Catholic belief and practice.
The Association's name is derived from the Latin 'Catena' (a chain) with the Circles being the links in the chain. The emblem consists of a continuous chain of links surrounding a cross. This symbolizes that our Catholic faith is at the centre of all we do.
We are not a fund raising agent for the Catholic Church, nor is it a Catholic action group. However, it is a group of active Catholics with most Catenians taking an active part in the life of their parishes and playing a leading role in their dioceses and Catholic lay organisations locally and nationally.
The Association is non-political though Catenians are prominent in many aspects of public life and service.
