Greetings and welcome!

My name is Evelyn Alleyne, and I am the current Provincial President of the Mother’s Union of the United States of America. We are delighted to be a part of the Worldwide Mother’s Union organization. Our affiliation with the Worldwide Mother’s Union in the United Kingdom dates back over two decades.

This Province has been experiencing gradual growth through membership. The province has branches in Florida, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Virginia. It is a humbling experience to know that our aims and objectives go far beyond the national level of service to God’s people. This body of Christian women and men has been and continues to be a beacon of hope and light in the communities they serve.

The structure of the province is made up of an executive body under the leadership of the Provincial President, with the Provincial Vice President, Diocesan Presidents, and other Members of the Executive. In addition, there are Branch Leaders and members who seek to transform and make God’s world a better place through their work and projects.

Our body of committed members see the need and demonstrate God’s love through their deeds. Our actions are expressed in various forms such as monetary donations, feeding the community, items of necessity for new and expectant mothers, etc. The Mother’s Union USA Province also recognizes the need to do collaborative work with other organizations and agencies.

Here is an open invitation to be a part of our wonderful organization that brings satisfaction and joy to oneself, knowing that you are involved in making a difference in one’s life.

Please take some time to peruse and learn more about our Province.

Thank you,
Evelyn Alleyne
Provincial President

I am Rita O. Johnson, in November2022, I was reelected Provincial Vice President of the Mothers’ Union USA for the triennium 2023-25. I consider this an honor and a testament to the work of this auspicious organization. I am humbled to continue in the office of The Vice President for a second term.

I continue to be an avid member as well as an advocate for this esteemed organization, and with a servant’s heart, I strive at nothing short of lending a helping hand with compassion as and when needed.

My dedication to upholding the Aims and Objectives of the Mothers’ Union is unwavering. So too is my passion to work on matters relating to family lives in adversity within our communities and nationwide. Sadly, the incidence of human trafficking is becoming more prevalent in our world, and I believe that as members of the Mothers’ Union we should lend support in any way we can; be it by providing resources to those who are fully engaged in protecting the vulnerable or in creating awareness through the work we do.

In my role as Provincial Vice President, I am committed to work with the members of the MU USA Province alongside the Provincial President, Evelyn Alleyne. During myr tenure in office the province has grown with the inauguration of two new branches; St. Matthew Anglican Church of Islip, and St. Mary’s Anglican Church in Bronx, New York. MUUSA hopes to achieve more in this area of development.

Being a member of the global Mothers’ Union is a great privilege. May God bless us all as we continue to be the hands and feet of our Lord Jesus Christ, as we further the work of the Mothers’ Union in his Vineyard.

My dear Mothers’ Union Sisters; It is my pleasure and honour to greet you at the start of this new triennium. We have just completed our first month and I am still humbled and overwhelmed but full of enthusiasm to carry on the legacy of my predecessors, who have set the foundation on which I can build. As one who has been passionate for the Mothers Union for over 26 years since I became a foundation member my Branch in St Catherine Jamaica West Indies, I have served in various capacities inclusive of Branch, Regional and Diocesan Presidents and at the Provincial level as PRO. I fully believe in, and embrace the mantra of Christian Care for Families, helping and serving the vulnerable and marginalized, so I became actively involved as Parenting Facilitator and Trainer; and the MULOA programme – listening, observing and acting.

Actions speaks louder than words and so on the global scene I was present to witness the commissioning of the first Worldwide President from the Province of the West Indies, participated in the Worldwide Council meeting in Rwanda, Conferences and MULOA training in Canada and most recently, as a delegate to UN (CSW 68) Commission on the Status of women in New York.

Having prayerfully accepted the mandate to serve at another level, I extend sincere thanks to those who placed their confidence in me by electing me to this office. I look forward to meeting and sharing with you all whether physically or in the virtual space and promise to give of my best with your support, cooperation and prayers.

For this triennium my priority is to focus on membership recruitment and retention in the Zone, while supporting the many impactful projects and programmes in the provinces, which have, and are changing the lives of so many persons across the Zone.

I encourage each of us to take a moment to reflect on our lives – where we have been, where we are, and where we are going. Reflecting is important not only for matters of physical fitness and finance, but also for matters of faith; what God has done for us in the past and will continue to do for us as individuals and as a movement throughout this Triennium under the theme; Join us, Join in-Join up increasing and retaining membership.

May God grant us the serenity to accept the things we cannot change, Courage to change the things we can and Wisdom to know the difference. I invite you all to join me listening to God speaking to us, inviting us to Join in and change lives, through His words written in Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

Be blessed
Kathleen Snow
Worldwide Trustee – Zone
