Union of Catholic Mothers
A national organisation of Catholic women, united in prayer, friendship and active witness to Christian family life.
About the UCM
We are a National Organisation of Catholic Women, open to all women who support our aims and objectives in “prayer, love and active witness to marriage, family and Christian life in the world”.
For over 100 years, we have been involved in current affairs, particularly those that impact on family life, lobbying our politicians to protect the marginalised and vulnerable in society both at home and abroad.
We are affiliated to other like-minded organisations, are active in our parishes and support each other in love and prayer.
Aims & Objectives
To help Catholic women to appreciate the Sacramental character, responsibilities and permanence of marriage and to live in unselfish love, observing the laws of God and His Church.
Our Objectives
- To assist Catholic women to bring up their children as practising Catholics and public-spirited citizens.
- To teach and defend Christian values in family life and to ensure Catholic education for future generations.
- To offer love, sympathy and practical help to the family in difficulty.
Through prayer, practical action and friendship, members seek to strengthen family and parish life while supporting those who may be vulnerable or experiencing difficulty.
