The vibrancy of parish life is underpinned by a wide range of groups, all of which make their own special contribution. Many are part of national organisations, enabling the Cathedral Parish to contribute and support the work of the wider church.
PACE helps manage and run a number of parish and community events throughout the year, with the aim to provide a wide range of events that bring all the generations of the parish together. The events also enable the parish to raise vital funds for the up keep of the parish hall as well as local and catholic charities.
Some of the events include Quiz Night, Summer Carnival, Advent celebration afternoon and many others.

Who are the Catenians? What do they do?
Catenians are an association of Catholic laymen who are committed to their Catholic Faith, their families, to those in need and to each other. Their primary purpose is to establish a network of friends, which enhances their family life, strengthens their Faith and sustains them in difficult times. Our friendships are developed by meeting together locally once a month and enjoying a varied programme of social events, together with our families and widows of members.
We support each other, the Catholic Church, young people and those in need. For young people our aim is to advance the interests and development of young Catholics and to assist them in the choice or pursuit of a career, including the promotion and support of the Catenian Association Bursary Fund. Young people may visit our website, www.thecatenians.com and find Bursary Fund. By requesting some funding for charitable work overseas or helping at Lourdes, a donation will usually be made via local Catenian Circle.
We also support Brothers in difficulty and need including maintaining and administering benevolent funds through the Catenian Association Benevolent and Children’s Fund.
The Brentwood Circle meets the second Wednesday of the Month at the Ivy Hill Best Western Hotel at 7 p.m. For more information contact Peter DOWSE peterdowse69@gmail.com or Membership Officer, Michael WILSHER awilsher@me.com

Brentwood Cathedral began in 1861 as a parish church built in a Gothic style. This relatively small building was raised to cathedral status in 1917. Between 1989 and 1991 the church was enlarged in an Italianate classical style.
The new Brentwood Cathedral was dedicated by Cardinal Basil Hume on 31 May 1991 and in 2022 the cathedral was listed at Grade II.
