Muintir Mhuire has grown significantly since its founding in October 2003. As a charity we rely on Divine Providence for donations and funding. This has been very successful to date and the Community has grown rapidly. We are dependent upon the guiding influence of the Holy Spirit for this growth to be maintained. The fruits of this can be seen in the generosity of those who contribute towards our work. 

"It is in giving that you shall receive" St. Francis of Assisi.

It has been the experience of all involved with the Community that the more we give the more we receive. Some have given their valuable time, sidelined careers, turned down job opportunities and some just give, as Mother Theresa once said

"True giving is giving until it hurts"           

Sometimes this can be frustrating because we do not know how to give, where to give and to whom to give. The Holy Spirit continually guides each and every one of us through our innermost thoughts, emotions and conscience, inspiring us and directing us to help people who are less fortunate than ourselves. The greatest gift you can give us is Prayer and we know that once you do that you are already involved with us in bringing about a change for the better in lives of all who seek our help.

We know from experience that there are many who want also to contribute in a practicable way by being involved directly in our work and this is always appreciated. Others want to be associated with our Community and do so from a distance by contributing financially, without this support our community would not have the facilities to provide for its members. We see all of this as coming from Divine Providence. Some He inspires to come and join us, some to spend time in prayer and some to give of their resources or a combination of these. We include in our prayer every day all who are involved with us and our work in whatever way, all are really appreciated. We thank God and His Blessed Mother for bringing together so many people who want to see His Will being done by providing together what could not be achieved by one or two on their own. Find our how to contribute(link).

In a stress filled environment it is good for people to know that they can avail of what our Community offers and that is taking “Time Out”.

Muintir Mhuire makes a difference and God knows we need your help!
