On Thursday 5h November Broughton-in-Craven Catenians were treated to a very interesting slide show by John Peet, horticulturalist, who told us about his personal experiences in Nepal.
John is a trustee of the Ikudal Forest Trust in Nepal, which promotes new forestation in a remote part of Nepal called Tipling. Here the Jesuits also do a great job as social workers. Family life is very fragile due to the immense poverty; and as teachers helping people with start-upsso that they can help themselves.
Circle members and visitors were very impressed by the work done in such a remote and dangerous region of the world. To get there requires passage along a single track dirt road cut into the mountain side and a long hike up to the village. Brother President, Franklin Schutz thanked John for his talk and wished him well with future ventures.

The Catenian Association is an international body of proudly Catholic laymen and permanent deacons who meet at least once a month in local groups called Circles, to enjoy each other's company and thereby strengthen their family life through friendship, faith and fun! It is open to practising Catholic laymen from the age of 18 years. Many of the Circles’ activities involve the members’ wives and families.
