Circle 235 (Preston South) recently responded to a request
from no less than 11 young people in the area for support to enable them to
attend the annual Lourdes Youth Pilgrimage.
Brothers kindly agreed to top up
the funds the youngsters had already raised to help them on their way. One of
the group’s fundraisers is the sale of cakes at St. Teresa’s in Penwortham, which is especially popular with parishioners who haven’t managed breakfast
before the 09:15 Mass!
Brother President, Arthur Whitlock and Father Austin Griffin,
parish Priest at St Teresa’s were invited to All Hallows, Catholic High School
in Penwortham to present the cheques to some of the group who include past as
well as present pupils.
Brother Arthur commented “It‘s great to see young people so
actively involved in the wider Catholic community. As well as giving invaluable
support to the pilgrimage they develop personally in so many ways”.

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.
