Edmund Rice Network Gatherings

Over the years we have established a programme for a Network Group to meet and it is open to all staff, friends, brothers.

In 2008 the initial forum revealed an appetite for three elements in the spirit of Edmund Rice’s example and charisma

• Spiritual exploration and growth in prayer
• Sharing with the Brothers and supporting Edmund Rice ministries
• Social action, engagement in local society and human need, like Edmund.
• Concern for refugees and asylum seekers emerged as a possible area of involvement.

The group combines elements of:

• Prayer and spiritual sharing and conversation
• Hearing from and supporting Edmund Rice ministries and schools within the Network
• Supporting particular outreach in the local area

We usually gather about 3 times per year in the early evening.

Topics covered:

• Asylum Seekers & Refugees
• The Network in South Africa
• Syrian Culture
• Poetry
• Music
• Contemplative Traditions

Please look out for our next gathering and feel free to come along.
