Brother President, John Lord, presented a cheque for £2200 to Joe & Ruth White of the Metanoia Project at St Wilfrid’s in Preston recently.
Metanoia are a Catholic ministry working with adult and youth groups across Preston.
Alongside this work they are providing an outreach service to the homeless based in the city centre.
Each Wednesday evening the narthex of St Wilfrid’s church is open and support is given to the homeless in the city. This includes the supply of warm clothing, sleeping bags and, importantly, a place where they will receive a genuine welcome.
Ruth & Joe and the rest of their team sit and chat with those attending and although not forcing our faith on them, give a welcome firmly based on our Gospel principles, which will hopefully help those who attend to see that they are loved and part of God’s family.
I would like to thanks the brothers and ladies of our circle and all those who attended our BBQ back in the summer for the support they gave. This donation will make a real difference to those less fortunate during the coming months.

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.
