Welcome
Welcome to the Mothers' Union in Clogher Diocese.
The Diocese of Clogher in the Church of Ireland covers a rural area on the
border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Most of the
parishes in the Diocese are small; the family unit is strongly influential
and the Church's activities and organisations continue to make a major
contribution to religious and community life. In Clogher Diocese there are just
under 1000 MU Members in 35 Branches. The majority of these are in Northern
Ireland and a few branches actually have members living on both sides of the
political border.
Our members, single and married are all concerned with strengthening
marriage and Christian family life. Today the organisation is centred on
prayer and fellowship combined with projects relevant to where our members
live. They respond to the varying needs of their own community and their
church in varied and different ways that assist in supporting families and
marriage.
We also have links with other dioceses and they are: Wellington Diocese,
New Zealand,
Cape Coast, Ghana,
Ilese, Nigeria
and Tuam, Killala & Achonry, Ireland.
