Society has changed tremendously since John O'Donnell and The Chums first met in Manchester in 1908. From the seminal period before the First World War, the Association spread rapidly across the British Isles and then in Australia, Malta, Hong Kong and Africa.

The book deals with all of these aspects in detail and also considers the responses of the Association to the many secular and ecclesiastical challenges it has faced.

Centenaries are momentous occasions and this history is a way of recording the achievements of the Association and respectfully remembering the contributions made by so many Catenians to their Catholic and civic communities during the past century.

This beautifully produced and well illustrated hardback, with a Foreword by Bishop Terence Brain of Salford, is a 'must' for every Catenian.

The author: James Hagerty is currently President of Wharefdale Circle. He has served as President of Bradford Circle and is a Past Provincial President of Province 3 North.
