Welcome to Adelaide's Premier Catholic Brotherhood ...
With an average age of just 40, we're a young, dynamic and fast-growing Catholic brotherhood. Our members meet monthly over dinner to discuss their faith, to socialise and to form new friendships with like-minded Catholic men. Currently, we operate two groups in Adelaide, one that meets centrally around the city, and one that meets in Mawson Lakes. We are part of the Catenian Association, a global Catholic fraternity founded in 1908.
“God chooses imperfect vessels for His perfect plans"
Why Join Us?
- Do you seek a Catholic band-of-brothers? …
- Do you find it hard integrating into the Australian Catholic Church as someone who's arrived from overseas? …
If you answered YES to any of the above questions, then the Adelaide Catholic Brotherhood may be for you.
The Adelaide Catholic Brotherhood is full of men who actively live-out their Catholic faith. Their faith is important to them and the Church central to their families. Our members come from many cultures, they work in many professions, some are married whilst others are single, but what we all have in common is that we profess and share a common love of Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church.
Fraternity, Faith, Fun and Fellowship are the pillars of the Adelaide Catholic Brotherhood. By being a member, you will regularly be exposed to all of these, as we believe they are essential for a balanced faith life.
WHAT DO WE DO?
We come together for dinner as a Brotherhood from 6:30PM – 9:15PM monthly. These are members-only events (men only) and all members wear suits and ties. Our members belong to one of our two local groups (Central & Mawson Lakes).
Adelaide City Circle 387 (Central)
The Central group meets on the 2nd Wednesday of every month (except December), for dinner only at a new restaurant each month (all situated in or around the city). Priests and Nuns will regularly join these dinners, along with new prospects exploring membership with Adelaide City Circle.
Adelaide North Group 944 (Mawson Lakes)
The Mawson Lakes group meets on the 1st Thursday of every month (except December), and first holds a traditional Catenian Association meeting in a private room. The meeting which occurs first is a little formal and follows a standardised procedure used by the Catenian Association around the world. The meeting lasts for only 10 – 20 minutes, and is followed by the fraternal dinner, which is informal. Priests and Nuns will regularly join the dinners, along with new prospects exploring membership with Adelaide North Group.
Meals and drinks are purchased by the individual member at each dinner, and we ensure that the prices of these are always affordable.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
The Adelaide Catenian Brotherhood is part of the Catenian Association, and as association, all members are required to pay an annual membership. There is a generous concessional category which offers a full 50% discount to full-time university students (both domestic and international), members who live outside metropolitan Adelaide and migrants who are still getting established, This will be discussed with you.
