Today's Reality

Click to Enlarge
A road travelled alone can be Lonely.

      In today’s world many of our youth those like Kevin, Alison, Bill and Jason are faced with difficult decisions, be it their role in life, to be married or single, choice of vocation or religious life or in their choice of study or work. Sometimes young people can lack confidence in themselves. Pressure to be successful, to be as good as their peers, to live up to their parents expectations, can result in nervousness, stress, anxiety or depression. In the search to find acceptance, friendship, encouragement and love in their lives some make immoral choices. Some of these being promiscuity, alcohol, drugs, new age Religions, the occult and many more that lead to severe disappointment. Sadly as a result of these there are too many unforeseen incidents arising, resulting in unhappiness, loneliness, despair, and sometimes even suicide.
If you are in the 18 to 30+ age group and thinking about taking time out you could phone us now at 00353 86 2571445.

Our Aims

Click to Enlarge
A Happy Community.

 It is our aim to provide accommodation, a family atmosphere, love and support to those who want to be part of our community, to enrich and improve their quality of life, to avoid isolation and to provide assistance, support and guidance to all who are involved with us. We do this by providing an experience of Christian Community, living within the community for a period of at least six months. Offering those who participate a solid foundation and a new basis for life thus reducing many of the stresses that may have previously occurred. There is an opportunity for discussion with others who have similar interests or the opportunity to speak in confidence to someone on any issue of concern. The community is open to English speaking people, both male and female from the age of 18 to mid 30s.

Divine Providence

The Power of Prayer.

Muintir Mhuire began with little or no assets, no funds or source of income, only with divine inspiration and a strong faith in God our Father. It is our belief that God continues on a daily basis to show His unlimited love for us and cares abundantly for all our needs. To date He has done that in extraordinary ways through those He has put us in contact with and who have come to share our vision. Also His love is shown to us by the generosity of our supporters, benefactors and friends. All contributions donated are used directly for the development of the community. The administration and management is carried out by the members of the community and our friends on a voluntary basis thus having little administration costs.
