About us
Welcome!
Our guiding principle is simply to follow Jesus in our own time in our own place.
We welcome new members who support our 6 aims. We
organize talks, share articles and news online as well as public
witnessing. You do not have to be a member to attend our
meetings. Annual Membership only costs €20 or €10 if you are
unwaged or aged over 65.
We Are Church Ireland was founded in 1997 just 2 years after We
Are Church was founded in Austria. We work for change and
renewal in the Catholic church seeking shared decision
making, equality for women and a welcome for all. While the
patriarchal hierarchy in the Catholic church remains largely
opposed to sharing decision making we endeavour to put into
practice the teaching of Christ to love one another in our
communities.
We Are Church Ireland is registered with the Charity Regulator
(Registered Number: 20203544). Our Core Group is made up of 3
women and 3 men who are all volunteers.
