[Volunteers Home Page] [Volunteer Placement Scheme] [Ministries] [Group Page]
The 2008 Congregational Chapter of the Christian Brothers in Munnar, India, calls the members of the Edmund Rice Network to;
Open our hearts to the cry of the earth and the poor and be moved to prophetic action through advocacy and works for justice.
Members of the Edmund Rice network; Staff of Oceania Province Ministries and EREA Schools and interested individuals with a passion for justice are invited to engage in solidarity with people from the majority world by partnering with Province’s Ministries that work alongside them, as an Edmund Rice Volunteer.
Through volunteering within the Edmund Rice Volunteer Scheme it is explicit that the volunteer is participating in the justice work of the ministries of Oceania Province and the International Congregation of the Christian Brothers, Edmund Rice Schools, the Edmund Rice Network and the Catholic Church
The volunteer experience not only supports the work of the ministry, but it also provides great potential for volunteers to refine their justice-work practice, personal spiritual growth and professional development.
Returned volunteers, through their practice, are energetic and powerful advocates and leaders of the mission of their Edmund Rice Ministry or School. It is expected that they will share their experience in both formal and informal ways with their ministry or school community
