The Mothers' Union is a worldwide Christian organisation which promotes the well-being of families worldwide.
Within this worldwide organisation we are part of the All-Ireland body.
In Dublin & Glendalough we have 35 branches situated throughout the counties of Dublin, Wicklow and a part of Kildare.
This website aims to give helpful information for and about the Mothers' Union in the United Diocese of Dublin & Glendalough.
The goal of the Mothers' Union is to be specifically committed to strengthening and preserving family life and marriage, by our Christian faith through practical action. This practical action can be seen through the giving of self, in prayer, in voluntary work, and in helping those less fortunate than ourselves in whatever ways we can.
Individual members are actively engaged in areas of local and parish concern. It would be hard to find a voluntary activity in sympathy with our aims and objects in which no member can be found quietly working away.
Branch projects are limited only by the vigour and imagination of the members, but perhaps the branches are chiefly identified by the important and supportive roles that they play within their own parish activities.
In 2012 we are celebrating the 125th Anniversary of the founding of the first Mothers' Union branch in Ireland which was opened in Raheny in North Dublin. A number of special events are being held over the coming months. Click here for more information.
Mothers' Union Enterprises holds a good stock of cards, books, gifts and stationery for sale. These are listed on the website together with a convenient and easy order form.
Other important aspects of our work are dealt with on the pages on each Unit. Click the link buttons above left or at the bottom of the page for more information.
