About the Association

What is the Catenian Association?

Simply put, the Catenian Association is an international brotherhood of Catholic business and professional men who meet socially, at least once a month, at local branches or 'Circles'. Members refer to each other as 'brothers', reflecting the mutual support and sharing of common values that is found within the Association. The Association 's name is derived from the Latin 'Catena' (a chain) with the Circles being the links in the chain and the emblem denoting a continuous chain of links surrounding a cross.
