There was an early Christmas present for Patsy Broom , daughter of Brother President Steve Broom and Elena , at Sutton Coldfield Circle’s Christmas party when she received a cheque from the Catenian Bursary Fund for £250-00 presented by Brother Provincial President Paul Clancy. Patsy will be using the award to assist her with teaching english in Bali for six weeks in 2020. She will be working with the organisation The Mighty Roar which provides structured, safe and affordable volunteer programmes abroad to make a positive impact around the world.

Province 6’s 200 Club was formed just over 40 years ago and has about 250 members — it’s an Irish 200 club! It’s only purpose is to support the Bursary Fund which provides financial support to young Catholics who are performing various charitable good works worldwide such as teaching English or helping to build schools, toilet blocks and hospitals in deprived areas of the world. They also help with the sick at Lourdes. Our support helps them to see how other societies live and maybe appreciate how lucky they are. It might even open up a career they had not thought about.
What does it cost to join the 200 Club? Just £12 a year, payable by standing order. Of your £12, apart from a little for postage, roughly half goes to the Bursary and the other half in prizes. We award four prizes each month: £70, £45, £30 and £20. (Prizes will increase if the number of members increases.)
To join, contact Brother Denis Heaney, City of Lichfield Circle.
