Since 1802, when the first school began in Waterford, Ireland, Edmund Rice education has grown across 21 countries. Across the world, over 200,000 students are educated to build a better world for all. The EREBB Global Map, Schools for the World, provides an opportunity for schools to highlight the wonderful diversity and reach of our global network. We encourage all of our schools to display the map and engage your community in learning about Edmund Rice Education Beyond Borders. Schools can upload their photos to the album on the map page. Why not have a look? It is wonderful to see students from across the world proudly photographed with their own school’s map. Where is your school’s map? Have you done something creative with yours? St Thomas More Collegiate in Canada have created an extra-large version of their map and St Raphael’s High School in Livingstone, Zambia have turned theirs into a painted mural.
St Ambrose College and St Mary’s Prep feature in the EREBB Global Schools Album. Ann and Rosin were so impressed that the Edmund Rice schools they visited in West Africa already had their maps on display.
O God, we thank you for the life of Edmund Rice.
He opened his heart to Christ present in those oppressed by poverty and injustice.
May we follow his example of faith and generosity.
Grant us the courage and compassion of Edmund as we seek to live lives of love and service.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
