Mothers' Union Diocese of Armagh

Mothers’ Union in Armagh is committed to supporting all families facing difficulties in the diocese. The diocese is large and crosses the boundary between Northern Ireland and the Republic, stretching from Magherafelt to Drogheda. The principal towns are Portadown, Dungannon and Cookstown in Northern Ireland and Dundalk and Drogheda in the Republic of Ireland.

The Armagh Diocesan Mothers’ Union operates under a Christian ethos and our work listed below reflects this. We have an active membership across several branches.

Our work includes:

• Providing relief of those in need within the Diocese of Armagh - holidays in NI are provided for families with specific needs
