The Catenian Association is a Roman Catholic lay society with around 8,000 members (known as "brothers") in a number of English-speaking countries. Catenian men and their families meet socially to help develop their faith and build lasting friendships. It has been described as "an international brotherhood of Catholic men" and a "Catholic fellowship for members of the professions." The Catenian Association has been depicted as one of the "older" Catholic movements that remains in existence.
