The Bishop of Clogher, the Rt Rev Dr Michael Jackson, has led a service of commissioning of the new President of Mothers' Union All-Ireland during the weekend.
The commissioning of Margaret Crawford took place at St Macartin's Cathedral, Enniskillen, on Sunday before a packed congregation of family, well-wishers and Mothers' Union members.
Mrs Crawford takes up her new role as the All-Ireland President of Mothers' Union and of Members of the Mothers' Union Central Executive after a number of years as Diocesan President of Mothers' Union in the Clogher Diocese.
Bishop Jackson welcomed her to her new post, describing her as "tireless in her commitment" to the Mothers' Union in Clogher.
"We in Clogher have every confidence that Margaret will contribute in the same effective way to the life of the Mothers' Union across Ireland as she has done in her own diocese," he said.
The Mothers' Union in the UK recently celebrated the success of its ethical giving catalogue in raising £90,000 to go towards the continued support of mothers throughout the developing world.
