Aberdeen and Orkney

The diocese of Aberdeen and Orkney covers Aberdeen, the home of the North Sea oil industry, as well as rural Aberdeenshire and the northern isles of Orkney and Shetland.

There are two branches:

•  St. Andrews Cathedral, Aberdeen
•  St. Mary on the Rock, Ellon and St James the Less, Cruden Bay

Members are involved in the following activities:

• Services for residents of Sheltered Housing and a Resource Centre.
• Knitting baby clothes for premature babies.
• Providing toilet bags for emergency hospital admission and Grampian Women's Aid.
• A monthly prayer group meets on the third Tuesday at 2.30 pm in St Mary’s, Carden Place, Aberdeen.  

Although small in number we are very active and try to keep abreast of all that is happening in Mothers' Union.

We were delighted that our former Diocesan President Olga Robertson, represented the diocese and province at the worldwide Special Regional Meeting of the Mothers' Union in Zambia in October 2009.

We are linked through correspondence and prayer with the dioceses of

•  Angola (Southern Africa)
• North Ankole (Uganda)
• Okene & Ibadan-South (Nigeria)
• Karnataka (South India)
