Burnley Catenians raise money for Pendleside Hospice


 Members of Burnley Catenians have raised money for Pendleside Hospice by donations and the proceeds of a concert held jointly with the Knights of St. Columba.  
The cheque was presented to the hospice at a Mass in St Mary's Church.  
Catenian Past President, Jim Livesey, said, "The hospice movement nationally supports at least 120,000 people with terminal and life-limiting conditions each year. This increases to around 360,000 people when their family members are included.  The hospices in east Lancashire provide a wonderful and essential service that touches many families including those from the Catenian community.
