The Union of Catholic Mothers – Founded in 1913 to unite Catholic married women, the UCM’s aim is to follow the full Christian ideal of marriage and family life providing commitment, stability and security in the home, the Church, the world. They help the poor, the homeless, the marginalised, the refugee, the ill and the weary, and work to support those in need. 

They also aim to foster vocations in life especially in Christian marriage and family life and in the priesthood and religious life.

Membership is open to all Catholic women, married or single.

To find out more, please contact: Janet Franklin (Foundation President) or Cecilia Cameron (Foundation Secretary) via the Parish Office.

Our meetings are held on the last Wednesday of the month, are open to all Catholic women of the PNL Parish and details are notified in the weekly Parish Newsletter.

Please Note: with effect from January 2026 our meetings will generally move to the 2nd Wednesday of each month.  Please check the weekly Parish Newsletter for details.
