The office team have delivered the Edmund Rice induction program to Year 7s in all our
secondary schools this half term. Getting to know the students and hearing about what they
have been learning about Edmund Rice, the network and the Eight Essentials has been a
wonderful experience. We have delivered these both in person and in online sessions. Well
done to the staff and students on such great foundational work with year 7s on what it
means to become a member of Edmund Rice school. We look forward to hearing how you
get on in your school careers! Have the courage and compassion of Edmund and be the
great generation we talked about in our session.
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.
