About Us

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.

Our 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.

We have 56 branches throughout Down and Connor and a warm welcome awaits you if you decide to join us. Please see branch list below.

Apostolic Work

What Our Organisation Does

The spiritual dimension of Apostolic Work makes us different from many other aid agencies. We are one of the few organisations which actually 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 quiz to name a few, so there really is something for everyone.  Come and join us 😊
