Who We Are
We are an inclusive network of Organisations, Groups, Schools and Individuals inspired by the life, values and work of Edmund Rice, as has been demonstrated by the Christian Brothers. In particular, we have been motivated by Edmund's response to the call of the Gospel.
Edmund's and the Christian Brothers’ example challenges us to respond as he did, with compassion, courage, integrity, generosity and personal commitment to the marginalised in our society, especially the young.
