Apostolic Work

Apostolic Work was founded by Agnes McCauley in 1923 in Down & Connor and has been led by committed lay people who have supported Irish Missionaries and others in their work overseas.

The successful fundraising and prayerful support over the years has made substantial differences to a multitude of diverse church-based projects worldwide ensuring positive outcomes to enhance the lives of innumerable people. Projects to date have supported education, health, nutrition, and many community enterprises.

There are 56 branches throughout Down and Connor and a warm welcome awaits you if you decide to join us. Click here to read more.

The spiritual dimension of Apostolic Work makes us different from many other aid agencies. We are one of the few organisations which supports priests, sisters, and brothers in their spiritual and pastoral work. Supporting individuals already working in the area means that no one needs to travel and evaluate the projects because the missionary knows the exact need of the area and local people. Our aim is to advance Christianity, the relief of poverty, the preservation of health, advance education and help to decrease criminal behaviour. The financial requests are many and varied such as helping to build churches, hospitals, and schools, supporting catechists, supplying Sacred Vessels, supplying food, medicines and clean water, and helping with the educational needs of children, young people and adults.

Funds are raised through various events such as Church Door Collections, Coffee mornings, Cake Sales, Gin Tasting, Afternoon Teas, Sponsored Walks, Fashion Shows, Christmas/Easter Sales, Floral Demonstrations, Table quizzes to name a few, so there really is something for everyone.

We have a small Apostolic Team in our parish and can always use a few new members. If interested, call the office on 028 9061 8180 or call Apostolic Works directly.
