Diocesan MU Banner: Each diocesan MU has a distinctive MU banner used in liturgical processions for special occasions.
Celebrating Baptisms: A special cake to celebrate children's baptism is provided by MU members.
Packing Pamper Packs: Members support the caring work of the Rockhampton Women’s shelter by providing pamper packs.
Fundraising Dinners: Caritas is a particular outreach of MU. Members of Caritas Groups grow through friendship and example into the Christian way of life, and nurture and support good family values. The Groups actively support members and their families in practical ways.
Retreats: As part of the focus of prayer MU encourages support of the Diocesan retreat for lay men and women.
Lone Members: No matter where they live members are able to be part of the network of Lone members and receive news and support.
PEP: Parenting Education Program is to encourage and support parents in their important role through education and discussion of family issues in a relaxed and friendly environment. The program is run by trained facilitators and has been designed for today's families in our Australian context.
