Welcome to Cashel and Ossory Mothers' Union.
Mary Sumner's vision of a mothers' union united in faith and prayer led to the formation of the Mothers' Union in 1876 in Old Alresford.
The first Branch of Mothers' Union in Ireland was formed in Raheny in 1887, and by the early 1900's there were several Branches in the South East, in what is now the united Diocese of Cashel and Ossory.
Today there are 506 members in 26 Branches throughout the Diocese and as you travel through our pages we hope you will see how we work to promote our aims and objectives. We know that we must be relevant to the needs of families today as Church and Society face many situations unheard of in Mary Sumner's era. We need to remain grounded in faith and prayer if we are to fulfil our vision of a world where God's love is shown through loving, respectful and flourishing relationships.
