Flint Foundation of the Union of Catholic Mothers Wales celebrate 80 years in the Parish
Flint Union of Catholic Mothers celebrated their 80th Anniversary on the 6th September 2018. The Foundation was actually formed by the late Mrs Rogers along with other ladies on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception 8th December 1938. There were at that time 72 members plus and these numbers continued to rise and the Foundation was a very active one, working within the Parish, fund-raising and enjoying spiritual and social time together also where possible attending Diocesan and National Meetings in different parts of England and Wales.
In 1938 we were part of the Diocese of Menevia and also part of the UCM throughout England and Wales.
In 1990 UCM became independent from England and our title became Union of the Catholic Mothers Wales.
There are ladies who are members of our Foundation today, whose own Mothers and Grandmothers were members before them.
Over the years members of our Foundation here in Flint have gone on to hold Diocesan Office - Mrs Ursula Pickering and Mrs Jennifer Davies have held the Office of Diocesan Presidents - Mrs Monica Jones and Mrs Dorothy Chandler have held the Office of Diocesan Secretaries and Mrs Pat Jones, Mrs Mary Cunningham and Mrs Monica Jones the Office of Diocesan Treasurers.
We have also had representation at National Level with Mrs Monica Jones holding the following National Offices - National Vice-President, North, - National Secretary - National President- and finally Deputy National President.
Sadly our numbers are depleting but we still continue to work within our Parish and support our Parish Priest, attend Diocesan Open Meetings and National Events.
So the members of Flint Foundation can be proud of their achievement in reaching their 80th Anniversary this year, no mean feat in today's world.
