🎳 A fantastic result from Monmouth's recent Skittles Night! Together, they raised an incredible £2,939 for this year's President's Charity appeal. The funds will be shared between St David's Hospice (£1,875) & Reach Out Monmouthshire (£1,064). Community in action. Well done, everyone! 👏 #Catenians

Who are the Catenians? FAQ's Part 5: Is the Catenian Association a new organisation? No. In 1908 Bishop Casartelli of Salford Diocese called for Catholics to work together & use their skills to take an active role in all aspects of society.
