The Catenian Bursary Fund is a registered charity, which makes a contribution towards the personal experience of any young catholic, between the ages of 16 and 25 who is prepared to work unpaid, helping under-privileged people anywhere in the world. The work should have a clear benefit for others, as well as widening the life experience of the participant.
Most members of the Association gift aid a subscription so that this valuable work may continue. The award is normally directed through a Circle in the participant’s area. It is normally presented either at a Circle meeting or at the parish church of the young person concerned. Afterwards, the young person is asked to give a talk on their experiences and perhaps write an article for the Association’s magazine.
Recently, six young people have received awards through Bolton Circle.
Bolton President David Murphy presents a Bursary Grant for a £1000.00 so that Sarah can carry out important work with children in a South African Orphanage and school.
