Brooklands & Didsbury Circle

Welcome to the website of Brooklands and Didsbury Catenians.

We are a group of Catholic laymen from all walks of life who meet once a month providing time to deal with Circle matters and socialise with likeminded supportive and faithful friends and family.

In addition we have a varied social programme involving our wives, children and friends. This caters for all ages providing fun and enjoyment whilst enabling friendships to flourish.

We are committed to our Faith, families and to those in need. Our primary purpose is to establish a network of friends which enhances family life, strengthens our Faith and provides practical support in difficult times. As well as supporting each other we do all we can to support our Parish, our Clergy and the young people of our Catholic community.

Brooklands & Didsbury Circle is one of many local groups of the Catenians, we are the 189th group (known as Circles) of the Catenian Association and we are based predominantly in the south Manchester area of Greater Manchester. We have regular contact with other Circles locally, nationally and internationally.
