A Christian Brother Education

Our school is a member of The Edmund Rice School Network, an international consortium of Catholic schools that educate in the spirit and tradition of the Edmund Rice Christian Brothers. Each school community strives to embody the values of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the Essential Elements of an Edmund Rice Christian Brother Education.

The Essential Elements of an Edmund Rice Christian Brother Education

St. Laurence models the examples set by Blessed Edmund and the Christian Brothers to develop its students spiritually through the Essential Elements.

History of Edmund

Blessed Edmund Rice was given the grace to respond to the call of Jesus by identifying with Christ in the poor. His example evoked a deep awareness of God’s loving presence in all with whom he came in contact. He also awakened within them a consciousness of their dignity as children of God. He invited his followers to share the Gospel insight to reach out to the needy, especially the materially poor.

The life of Blessed Edmund Rice – businessman, husband, father, widower, religious brother, teacher, and founder – challenges all involved in Christian Brother Education to live and teach Gospel values. His vision inspires the Essential Elements of an Edmund Rice Christian Brother Education.

“Edmund Rice was moved by the Holy Spirit to open his whole heart to Christ present and appealing to him in the poor.” (1984 General Chapter).

Path to Advocacy

We show our students the power of service in action. Beyond encouraging them to help those in need, we empower them to initiate and advocate for the causes they truly believe in.
