It was fantastic to welcome 30 new staff members as well as newly appointed governors
from our schools this September at our induction programme, held at Woodeaves.
A re-vamped programme this year, inspired by our visit to EREA over the summer included
getting to know Edmund, interpreting the Eight Essentials in a current context,
opportunities in the network and time to share about our roles and hopes.
Hearing from Brother Ger was, as always, a highlight for participants. Sharing the day together,
having lunch and time to reflect on what becoming one of Edmund’s people means was truly
special experience for us all. Welcome and enjoy your time in our Edmund Rice family.
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.
