BURSARY FUND. https://catenianbursary.com/
Every year we give financial support to young Catholics from all over the world who volunteer to do something wonderful and help those less fortunate than themselves. Whether this is on an individual project, or with others – or even if you are planning to travel to Lourdes to help an assisted pilgrim – we would like to help you to achieve your aims.
