Carnmoney Parish Mother's Union is a long established branch. The earliest mention of it is in the 1905 Annual Report for Down, Dromore & Connor (as they were then), and we are very proud that it continues to thrive today.
Currently we have 20 active members who meet in the Memorial Room at 2.30pm - 4.30pm on the 4th Tuesday of each month.
The Mother's Union is a worldwide charity bringing support and care for family life to the heart of every community, and works through 4 million members in over 83 countries.
We have a varied programme with lots of fun and fellowship, and afternoon tea, so please come along and take part, you will be most welcome.

Mothers' Union resumed after the summer break and we were welcomed back by Anne with a delicious afternoon tea followed by a beetle drive. We all enjoyed the fun and fellowship.
Any ladies that would like to join us would be most welcome.
July 2024
Our Mothers' Union members have been busy over the past few months, buying items for emergency toiletry packs which are given to patients being admitted to hospital through A&E.
Our members have also been busy knitting baby items.
Today 60 emergency toiletry packs were delivered to A&E at Antrim Area Hospital and 100 baby hats, cardigans and incubator blankets were delivered to the Neonatal Department. The staff at both departments were delighted to receive these items on behalf of the patients and really appreciated these contributions.

The Mothers Union trip was to Killead Parish Church “St Catherine’s”.
We had a lovely lunch,followed by “Yarns from the Bible” - This was an exhibition of handcrafted knitted tableaux and patchworks depicting familiar scenes from the Bible.
The craftwork was amazing and we all enjoyed our afternoon very much.
