Burnley Circle presented an award of £1200 from the Association's Bursary Fund to Stephanie Beech. Stephanie, a native of Sheffield, studied geography at Liverpool University and is hoping to start a career in overseas development. She is currently working in Pendle's Good Shepherd Parish at the Sacred Heart Primary School, Nelson, sponsored by CAFOD following a visit to Nicaragua.
The Bursary Fund award will support Stephanie from September 2015 to March 2016 when she will be in a rural community in Kerala, India, teaching English in a new primary school run by the Assumption Sisters, with whom she will be living. From March until July 2016, she will be in Pune also teaching English to novitiate Sisters. This one year volunteer placement is organised through the Assumption Sisters Volunteer Programme.

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.
