Hundreds of Catholics gathered at Mar-a-Lago, President Donald Trump’s famous Palm Beach private club and residence, for a prayer and fellowship event on the Feast of St Joseph.

The 19 March event at the famous location in Florida was organised by Catholics for Catholics, a group that seeks to unite conservative ideals with Catholic teachings and promote a shared appreciation of US heritage.

Tickets for the event, priced at $1,500 for the full programme, included morning activities, a cocktail reception and dinner. The gathering drew both lay Catholics and around 100 priests were expected to attend.
