Birmingham Branch was formed in 1910, has just celebrated its centenary and has Sections throughout the Archdiocese. We hold a Study Morning every year usually in March, and this normally includes very interesting speakers on topical subjects. We also have our own annual Pilgrimage to the Shrine of Our Lady of Evesham and an annual Joint Mass with the Union of Catholic Mothers at St Chad’s Cathedral. We are proud to be able to claim that our founder, Margaret Fletcher is a true product of our Archdiocese and is buried within the confines of Begbroke Priory in Oxford.
