ABOUT US
OUR HISTORY
It came into being in the late 18th Century after a smallpox epidemic had ravaged the Broughton district of the Fylde — one of the most intensely Catholic areas in England. (No fewer than seven of the English Martyrs were born within a 7-mile radius of the village)… The first meeting took place there on 6 May 1787. The priests and laypersons of the Society have dined together in the Broughton area on each Whit Tuesday ever since.

ALMSGIVING
Every member of one year's standing may petition for Alms on behalf of some needy person, family or local (i.e. member diocese) worthy charitable cause. Such petitions shall be made in writing to the Secretary not later than two weeks after Whit Tuesday. They shall provide sufficient details to help the Board in reaching a decision, and if possible shall be supported by the testimony of a priest familiar with the case. Petitions from non-members cannot be considered.
