Mass for Vocations & Feast of St Carlo Acutis

Each Catenian Circle has a Mass offered for vocations at least once each year. This month, London Charterhouse Circle will observe this important commitment by joining the evening Mass at Newman House, the Catholic Chaplaincy for London’s Universities, where the Mass will be offered for the intention of vocations.

We will pray particularly for vocations to the Priesthood, Diaconate and religious life: that those whom Our Lord is calling may more clearly perceive His loving presence in their lives; and that they may be filled with the grace to say “yes” without reserve when He invites them to follow Him.

It is especially fitting that our gathering falls on the Feast of St Carlo Acutis and takes place at the Catholic Chaplaincy serving London’s university students. It provides an opportunity to come together as brothers to show our encouragement for those young Catholics who may be discerning a call to serve Our Lord and His Church, and be united with them in prayer. 

Following Mass, we will gather at the Challoner Hall for our Circle meeting and dinner

And, as St Carlo was apparently rather fond of Nutella, we hope to have a little on hand in his honour!

Church & State 2027 - East India Club

The Brothers of London Charterhouse Circle are delighted to announce that the principal guest and speaker at our third annual Church & State Night will be Rev Fr Dr Øystein Lund, Vice-Chancellor of St Mary’s University, Twickenham.

Fr Lund brings together a remarkable breadth of experience in Catholic ministry, higher education and diplomacy. A priest of the Diocese of Oslo, he has held senior academic leadership positions in Norway and, before taking up his appointment at St Mary’s, served as Counsellor for Research and Education at the Royal Norwegian Embassy in London.

This year’s Church & State Night will reflect on lifelong Catholic formation: how, throughout our lives, we continue to discover our vocation, develop the gifts God has entrusted to us, and grow in faith, wisdom and service to the Church and wider society.

Hosted by London Charterhouse Circle, the evening brings together Catholic men and women from across London and from a wide range of professional backgrounds for an evening of fellowship, networking and reflection.

Pentecost Novena 2027

Circle brothers see to undertake a period of deeper prayer next year during the nine days between the great feasts of Ascension and Pentecost. This is one of the oldest of all novenas, commemorating the time when Our Risen Lord told the apostles to remain in Jerusalem and await the gift of the Holy Spirit. (Acts 1:4-5,8)

The apostles and Our Lady went to the upper room and devoted themselves with one accord to prayer for nine days, from the Ascension to Pentecost — and on the tenth day they were filled with the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:13-14; Acts 2:1-4).

We will attend Mass together as a Circle on the Feast of the Ascension, Thursday, 6 May 2027, followed by a nine-day Zoom morning prayer gathering (15 min or so) before the start of the working day or people heading off on their commutes. More details to follow.  

Matthew 25 Initiative

Taking inspiration from Our Lord’s words, “Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me” (Matthew 25:40), London Charterhouse Circle seeks to undertake a small, practical act of charity.

The Matthew 25 Initiative, open to members and guests attending Circle Meetings, invites a voluntary contribution of £5, which will be used to purchase new socks and basic clothing items for those served by the Companions of Malta at the Wednesday Breakfast Club held in Challoner Hall.

Further Information:

Charterhouse also organises regular events such as our annual London Camino, a Lenten Church walk exploring 7 Catholic Churches in Central London (about 5 miles). We also organise local tours, to the Charterhouse in Farringdon, the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden, and Bletchley Park. 

Ladies Night - a cherished tradition within our Catenian association, for London Charterhouse Circle these are heartfelt occasions where we gather to honour and celebrate the extraordinary women who enrich our lives: our beloved wives, adored daughters, beloved nieces, treasured granddaughters, cherished sisters, esteemed mothers, and faithful friends. These convivial evenings are a testament to the deep appreciation and gratitude we hold for the remarkable women who stand by our side. As Circle brothers, we extend our warmest hospitality, creating a welcoming ambiance for our esteemed guests to share in fellowship and camaraderie. These dinners serve as a poignant expression of our respect and admiration for the invaluable role these women play in our lives, embodying the essence of love, support, and companionship.

Clergy Night - Once a year, we host an evening where the circle extends a cordial invitation to members of the clergy to join us for dinner as our esteemed guests. This occasion serves as a poignant opportunity to express our profound gratitude to priests and religious for their dedicated life of service.

Provincial Events - Each Catenian circle is part of a broader group of other circles; this broader group is referred to as a province. London Charterhouse Circle falls under the umbrella of Province 14, which encompasses nine other circles across North London and the surrounding areas. Members have the opportunity to visit other circles within the province and beyond, participating in provincial-level events such as golf tournaments, wine tasting dinners, pub quizzes, and the President’s Weekend.
