ARTICLES FROM THE EDUCATIONAL RECORD* *Published periodically by the Christian Brothers, Rome. 1 1 1. An Appreciation of Edmund Rice Edmund Rice was brought up in a district where the children had been well instructed in Christian doctrine and fully prepared for the reception of the sacraments.2 He came from a family of high religious and social standing and of considerable material prosperity.3 Moreover he had received a much better education than the great majority of Catholic boys of his time.4 At the age of sixteen he arrived in Waterford, where he entered on a career with his uncle, a provision merchant, who later left him the business, in which he was very successful. He was on familiar terms with many of the better class families of the city and took a full part in the life of a highly cultured society.5 HIS NATURAL GIFTS In the prime of life “he possessed in an eminent degree those qualities which constitute greatness. He was endowed with a powerful intellect. His knowledge of human nature was deep and comprehensive. To the most consummate prudence were united unbending courage, indomitable energy, and untiring perseverance.”6 He married happily but the shadow of the cross, which was to be with him for the remainder of his life, fell heavily on him, and his young wife died in 1789.7 SPIRITUAL LIFE While continuing his commercial affairs with an ever increasing success, the Faith he had received from his parents in early life took deeper root. His spiritual life developed, expressing itself in prayer, spiritual reading, and works of charity. “He attended Mass daily, summer and winter, at 6 a.m. and went to frequent if not daily communion, in the Cathedral.”8 He also frequented the neighbouring Church of St. Patrick, where the ministering clergy were the Jesuit Fathers. One of these, Father St. Leger SJ, was his personal friend, at whose house he was a frequent visitor.9 “He also said the Office of the Church daily – it may have been the Office of Our Lady, and he was very devout to the Mother of God.”10 His soul was nourished by the reading of the Bible, in which he noted many of the texts that referred in a particular way to his business transactions.11 He was also very familiar with the Spiritual Combat, the vide-mecum of St. Francis de Sales.12 Another book with which he was familiar was The Feasts, Fasts, and other Observances of the Catholic Church.13 THE CRY OF THE POOR Gradually the idea of adopting a contemplative life formed in his mind, but numerous difficulties presented themselves and he received no encouragement from his brother, Father John Rice OSA.14 But his interest in the poor continued and he began to focus his attention on the boys of the city. Some of these, poor and hungry, “he would bring into his own private house and give them bread and clothes.”15 “He felt himself strongly inclined to the instruction of the poor in consequence of the number of boys he daily met wandering about the streets and the suburban roads of the city in idleness and in its usual attendant vices.”16 SEARCH FOR GOD’S WILL Was God calling him to this special work? He went to visit Doctor Lanigan, the bishop of his native diocese, who “assured him that, in his opinion, the idea proceeded from God,”17 and 2 advised him to dispose of his property and “to apply the money thereby obtained in building and endowing a house and school for the glorious object he had in view.”18 Having received this guidance, Edmund Rice wrote to Pope Pius VI and explained the project he wished to undertake. He was “encouraged by him to proceed with it.”19 A START IS MADE His mind was made up. “Everything was adverse; everywhere was difficulty; but in Edmund Rice there was that happy combination of those noble qualities which eminently fitted him for gigantic action, and made him less consider the magnitude of obstacle than the means of overcoming them.”20 It was at this critical stage in his vocation that he showed the unbounded trust in Providence that became such a feature of his spirituality in later years. He sold his business and with a worldly imprudence, reproved by his brother, Father Rice,21 and with no group of disciples to assist him opened his first school in a stable in New Street.22 “New Street in his time was a residential quarter and it is but natural to expect that the inhabitants objected to his boys.”23 “One prominent Protestant, who resided in then No.

  • Historic Costuming Presented by Jill Harrison
    Historic Southern Indiana Interpretation Workshop, March 2-4, 1998 Historic Costuming Presented By Jill Harrison IMPRESSIONS Each of us makes an impression before ever saying a word. We size up visitors all the time, anticipating behavior from their age, clothing, and demeanor. What do they think of interpreters, disguised as we are in the threads of another time? While stressing the importance of historically accurate costuming (outfits) and accoutrements for first- person interpreters, there are many reasons compromises are made - perhaps a tight budget or lack of skilled construction personnel. Items such as shoes and eyeglasses are usually a sticking point when assembling a truly accurate outfit. It has been suggested that when visitors spot inaccurate details, interpreter credibility is downgraded and visitors launch into a frame of mind to find other inaccuracies. This may be true of visitors who are historical reenactors, buffs, or other interpreters. Most visitors, though, lack the heightened awareness to recognize the difference between authentic period detailing and the less-than-perfect substitutions. But everyone will notice a wristwatch, sunglasses, or tennis shoes. We have a responsibility to the public not to misrepresent the past; otherwise we are not preserving history but instead creating our own fiction and calling it the truth. Realistically, the appearance of the interpreter, our information base, our techniques, and our environment all affect the first-person experience. Historically accurate costuming perfection is laudable and reinforces academic credence. The minute details can be a springboard to important educational concepts; but the outfit is not the linchpin on which successful interpretation hangs.

  • Authentic Expression of Edmund Rice Christian Brother Education
    226 Catholic Education/December 2007 AUTHENTIC EXPRESSION OF EDMUND RICE CHRISTIAN BROTHER EDUCATION RAYMOND J. VERCRUYSSE, C.F.C. University of San Francisco The Congregation of Christian Brothers (CFC), a religious community which continues to sponsor and staff Catholic high schools, began in Ireland with the vision of Edmund Rice. This article surveys biographical information about the founder and details ongoing discussions within the community directed toward preserving and growing Rice’s vision in contemporary Catholic schools. BACKGROUND n 1802, Edmund Rice directed the laying of the foundation stone for IMount Sion Monastery and School. After several previous attempts of instructing poor boys in Waterford, this was to be the first permanent home for the Congregation of Christian Brothers. Rice’s dream of founding a reli- gious community of brothers was becoming a reality with a school that would reach out to the poor, especially Catholic boys of Waterford, Ireland. Edmund Rice grew up in Callan, County Kilkenny. The Rice family was described as “a quiet, calm, business people who derived a good living from the land and were esteemed and respected” (Normoyle, 1976, p. 2). Some historians place the family farm in the Sunhill townland section of the coun- ty. The family farm was known as Westcourt. It was at Westcourt that Robert Rice and Margaret Tierney began a life together. However, “this life on the family farm was to be lived under the partial relaxation of the Penal Laws of 1782” (Normoyle, 1976, p. 3). This fact would impact the way the Rice family would practice their faith and limit their participation in the local Church.

  • Easter VI.Pmd
    May is Mary’s Month! Our Lady of Grace. North transept, St. James Cathedral. ST. JAMES CATHEDRAL The Sixth Sunday of Easter May 25, 2014 May 25, 2014 Dear Friends, St. James Cathedral and O’Dea High School have a very strong relationship, one that goes back to the very beginning of the school. Did you know that the Cathedral actually built O’Dea? It’s true. Under the leadership of Monsignor James G. Stafford, Pastor of St. James Cathedral from 1919-1935, the Cathedral School experienced phenomenal growth. Not only did Monsignor Stafford offer free tuition and free books, he arranged for three daily busses so that children of outlying O'Dea Baseball Team, 1924 districts could enjoy the benefit of a Catholic education. By 1923 there were more than 600 students and the school was bursting at the seams. But this wasn’t enough for Monsignor Stafford or for the Cathedral parishioners. Recognizing the great need for a Catholic boys’ high school in the area, he purchased property on the block east of the Cathedral. Eight houses were torn down to make way for the high school, while two houses became residences for the Holy Names Sisters, who taught at the Cathedral School, and the Irish Christian Brothers, who were invited to undertake the management of the new O’Dea High School. The parish undertook these projects with extraordinary vision and generosity. As the Cathedral’s 1929 Yearbook reported: “With the determination that this great parish should offer our young men an institution of learning equal to anything in the country, he planned a structure of outstanding beauty and usefulness.

  • The Lasallian Catechetical Heritage in the United States Today.” AXIS: Journal of Lasallian Higher Education 4, No
    Rummery, Gerard. “The Lasallian Catechetical Heritage in the United States Today.” AXIS: Journal of Lasallian Higher Education 4, no. 3 (Institute for Lasallian Studies at Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota: 2013). © Gerard Rummery, FSC, Ph.D. Readers of this article have the copyright owner’s permission to reproduce it for educational, not-for-profit purposes, if the author and publisher are acknowledged in the copy. The Lasallian Catechetical Heritage in the United States Today Gerard Rummery, FSC, Ph.D., Lasallian Education Services, Malvern, VIC, Australia1 Part One: The Achievement The Inculturation of the Lasallian Charism The particular situation of Lasallian schools in the United States today is different in so many ways from that faced by John Baptist de La Salle and the first Brothers over 300 years ago, and indeed from that confronted by the pioneer Brothers in the melting-pot days of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Today, most Lasallians work mainly in high schools and in tertiary education, although some in the Saint Miguel schools now find themselves working in grade schools with immigrant children, just as the pioneers did. The legacy of what De La Salle initiated with delinquent young people at Saint-Yon continues in works such as the Saint Gabriel System, at Ocean Tides, Martin de Porres School and Group Homes. Direct service of the poor is a concern of each District in its links with the Catholic Worker movement and in the many works with immigrant people. Our first observation, therefore, is to note that the Brothers who came to work in an English- speaking immigrant country had first to adjust their training and cultural background to a very different situation in which their Institute’s well-established and successful French practices and pedagogy had to undergo major changes.
