Mrs. Ann Howard - Diocesan President
New Diocesan President
Ann Howard from Longford Branch has been elected to the office of Diocesan President in succession to Hazel Speares. Ann will be taking up office in January 2022. Ann has been a member of Mothers Union for many years and has held various roles from branch leader in Longford to Diocesan Secretary in Kilmore Elphin and Ardagh. She is currently one of our Vice Presidents. Ann has a special interest in bereavement and how grief and loss can be crippling for some. She is a Daffodil nurse with the Irish Cancer Society and works in palliative care. She enjoys bee-keeping and gardening in her spare time. Ann is highly honoured to have been elected to this role and with God's help will lead the Mothers Union for the next 3 years. Ann is looking forward to meeting members and non-members throughout the diocese. We wish Ann well in her new role. 
The Diocese covers a large geographical area, taking in Counties Cavan, Longford, Leitrim, most of County Roscommon and much of County Sligo in the Republic and some parishes in County Fermanagh in Northern Ireland.
Mothers' Union has 315 members in 18 branches across the Diocese. Whilst membership in some of our branches is quite small, we must never forget that we are part of a worldwide Christian organisation with over 4.1 million members in 83 countries throughout the world, and that we are united with them in prayer and worship. We share the same Aims and Objectives as we work to support marriage and Christian family life, and to help those who have not been so fortunate in life. Our diocesan link is with the Diocese of Cork, Cloyne and Ross. Thank you for visiting our website. We hope you find it interesting and informative - please read on to find out more about what we get up to here in Kilmore, Elphin and Ardagh and perhaps you will want to join in what we do. |
Prayer for June 2022
We give thanks for the work of the Mothers Union throughout the world. We thank you for the friendships we have made and the communities of support that have been built to your glory. We pray for people everywhere who struggle. Those who are ill in body, mind or spirit. Those who mourn. Those who worry or despair. Those displaced by war and unrest. We pray for peace in our world and especially in Ukraine. And we pray for ourselves that you would help us strive first for your kingdom. In Jesus name. Amen 
2022 Theme: Transformation - Now! As we start a new triennium, and look to the future with fresh vision, this is our theme for 2022. Through a global pandemic, Mothers' Union members have shown amazing resilience, responsiveness and adaptability and this theme gives us the impetus to transform ourselves, our churches and communities and Mothers' Union to be relevant for today.
