Catenians in Guildford
Catenians in Guildford
The Guildford Catenians were formed over fifty years ago and number over 60 members drawn from an area stretching from Guildford to Haslemere and from Farnham to Leatherhead. We are part of the National Catenian Association, which also has branches in other countries.
We are an organisation of practising Catholic men, whose purpose is to provide friendship and fellowship; to enjoy each other’s company and to be there to help fellow Catenians in times of need.
Our monthly meetings begin with prayers, followed by discussion of the group’s organisation and the planning of our religious and social activities. Afterwards members enjoy a meal with opportunities to discuss current issues and family life with others who share the same values and faith. Visitors from other Catenian groups are always welcome and we are encouraged to visit other groups’ meetings and social occasions to widen and strengthen our circle of friends.
Each year we organise a full programme of social and religious events, which includes dinners with wives, widows, daughters, sons and clergy, concert and theatre visits, walks, visits to places of interest, quizzes and similar light-hearted competitions with other circles. We also hold Masses for particular intentions and arrange pilgrimages and days of recollection which deepen our faith. We have opportunities to attend local, national and international Catenian conferences, where we meet a large number of other members.
