Edmund Rice Birthday Anniversay

Our Founder’s Birthday Anniversary

Edmund Rice Birthday Anniversary Celebrations were held in June at the Oceania Province’s Treacy Centre in Melbourne . Christian Brothers, Oceania Province staff and Edmund Rice supporters gathered to celebrate the life of our founder, Edmund Rice, who became recognised as Holy through his passion for, and belief in, providing schooling for all, especially uneducated boys and young men from poor and disadvantaged backgrounds. Through the order he founded, the Christian Brothers, schools and missions were started all over the world, including many in our Pacific region.

“We embody the spirit of Edmund Rice. We share and receive from this community. And we find ourselves making history together…making more than champions…”
