Union of Catholic Mothers

WHY CATHOLIC WOMEN JOIN THE UCM

An organisation that believes in:

Marriage and Family

The Power of Prayer

Justice and Peace

Helping the marginalised

and those in difficulty

Upholding

Christian Values

Friendship and fun,

and lots more ...

Catholic women join The UCM for a variety of reasons as meetings provide fellowship and friendship and are a blend of social and spiritual activities. The UCM meeting, literature and contacts provide ongoing fresh interests. There are opportunities for varied and valuable Catholic action but nothing should be undertaken at the expense of

personal family life. Through unity with

other members, many thousands strong,

greater influence can be exerted on public

affairs that affect marriage and family life.

United in prayer, members never face

life's difficulties alone but are strengthened

by the support of fellow members.

The UCM

'The family which lives

love even though imperfectly,

and opens itself generously

to the rest of society, is the

primary agent of a future of

peace.A civilisation of peace

is not possible if love is lacking'.

Pope John Paul II

The UCM is 'family'
