The Society’s Irish Region covers the island of Ireland, though we have no members from or resident in Northern Ireland anymore. Today the Irish Region has its headquarters in Dublin, which is its only property of the Society in the Region. This relatively modern building combines both facilities for active retirement of Mill Hill Members and the Region’s mission promotion and administrative activities. With the help of the Franciscan Missionaries of St. Joseph Sisters and a dedicated lay staff, the Society provides in Dublin a house of retirement for its Irish members. The majority of Irish members can be found here, retired from overseas mission or involved in Society work or some occasional chaplaincy activities in the area.

Some ‘Mill Hillers’ can be found in other parts of Ireland in full-time or part time urban and rural parish ministry, chaplaincy activities at Ireland’s International Eucharistic and Marian Shrine, Knock, some occasional parish supply work or retired.

Since 1936 the Irish Region has promoted missionary interest and support through the publication and distribution of its magazine, St. Joseph’s Advocate. This is now issued three times a year, Spring, Autumn and Winter and the latter issue goes out with an annual calendar.  The Magazine keeps the friends and supporters in touch the missionary work of the Society and promotes devotion to St. Joseph – our patron and protector.  The Spring Issue promotes the annual Novena to St. Joseph held during the month of March. 

The role of Mill Hill Ireland and its overseas activities has also evolved into supporting, through the General Council’s offices, the Society’s younger members from Africa and Asia who are witnessing to Christ’s message, with love and compassion, in some of the remote areas of our world. There they respond through the parishes and communities where they minister and give support where there is great need of any kind.
