Called and Gifted

Each year in the fall, we are invited by the Edmund Rice Christian Brothers to send Iona employees to a lovely retreat house on the Hudson River for two and a half days of reflection on the history of the Edmund Rice Christian Brothers, with special concentration on the founder, Blessed Edmund I. Rice. There are representatives from Edmund Rice Christian Brothers' schools throughout the United States, creating opportunities to compare and reflect on the Essential Elements of an Edmund Rice Christian Brother education. One result is a sense of connectedness to a larger, extended "Edmund Rice Family."
