Associates
Aware of God's presence in their lives, moved by the Holy Spirit by virtue of their baptism, sustained by the Living Christ in the Eucharist and acknowledging Jesus' Gospel appeal, the Associates of Blessed Edmund Rice, in union with the Christian Brothers, are inspired by the charism, spirit and legacy of Blessed Edmund Rice. They strive to grow in their relationship with Jesus by living the Gospel message and a life devoted to prayer, justice, and charitable and educational works, especially with the poor and marginalized. - May 1999
