The Mothers' Union is a Christian organisation, which promotes the well being of families worldwide. Please look at Our Vision: Purpose, Aim and Objectives
The Mothers' Union in Ireland is part of a membership of 3.6 million in 78 countries worldwide. First started in England by Mary Sumner in 1876, the Mothers' Union began in Ireland in 1887 with the founding of the first group in Raheny, Dublin, by Annabella Hayes. The organisation gradually spread throughout Ireland and in July 1901, Mary Sumner met members during a visit to the country.
There are now 375 Branches throughout the 12 Dioceses of the Church of Ireland, which is part of the worldwide Anglican Communion. The 9,500 members represent a wide range of age and interests. Membership offers prayerful and practical support through regular Branch meetings, worship, seminars and conferences.
Throughout Ireland Mothers' Union members bring a variety of practical help and support to their parish and community
 Becoming a Mothers' Union Member
Membership is for anyone who is baptised and wishes to support the Mothers' Union Vision, Purpose, Aims and Objectives. It is for both men and women, regardless of age or marital status. In Ireland the majority of members belong to their local parish branch. Diocesan membership is an alternative for those who may not wish to attend regular meetings - contact will be made by post or email from your local Diocese. A third type is central membership where you are kept up-to-date on the latest Mothers' Union work and campaigns from our head office at Mary Sumner House. For further information on membership contact your local Branch, Diocese or The Administrative officer or click here to send us an email, office@mothersunion.ie |
