How to Join

Membership of the Catenian Association gives you the opportunity to meet other Catholic men and to build lifelong friendships with them and their families.

Application for Membership is open to all Catholic laymen over the age of 21. There are no specific requirements in terms of income or type of occupation, nor a requirement for a member’s wife to be a Catholic: many are not and participate fully in the enjoyment of Catenian Life.

Potential members are either approached by, or approach, a current member of the Catenians Association to understand the Association and consider membership. The applicant is invited to attend a Circle function so he can experience the Catenian ethos.

Where interest continues an applicant will then be invited to attend one or more Circle meetings as an observer. Applicants are required to make formal application on the appropriate form and to meet with members of the local Circle’s membership committee so the implications of membership can be discussed fully in a relaxed atmosphere. The applicant then joins the Association as a member of a local Circle.
