“The Mother’s Union will also be remembered as the day women share ideas on various issues including marriage. We are praying for peace and unity to prevail in the country as we approach elections.”
Anglican Mother’s Union is the backbone of the church and in March this year they successfully hosted St Mary Day where women from across the country gathered at St Augustine in the province.
St Mary’s day is commemorated annually on March 25 by Mother’s Union to celebrate the message that was bought by Mary by the Angel Gabriel that she was to give birth to Jesus.
