RISE UP! Bronze Award for St Patrick’s, Broughshane

Tuesday October 29th 2024

Congratulations to St Patrick’s, Broughshane, which was the first parish in Connor Diocese to receive a Bronze Award in the MU’s RISE UP! Campaign challenge.

Members of the parish Mothers’ Union were presented with the award by Diocesan President Sally Cotter at Connor MU’s Autumn Council held at All Saint’s, Antrim.

RISE UP! Is the MU’s campaign against domestic abuse. To achieve the Bronze Award a branch or church must:

Put a RISE UP poster raising awareness about domestic abuse in an appropriate public place such as in churches, toilets, community centres, village halls etc.

Commit to pray for those affected by domestic abuse, including the victims, survivors, perpetrators, and those who work in the field of domestic abuse.

Make a connection with a local domestic abuse support organisation to see how the church can support them.
