Edmund Rice, the founder of the Christian Brothers, was a highly successful businessman who used his fortune to help educate needy young people and improve the lot of many of the disadvantaged people of his time.
The Blessed Edmund Rice Team (“BERT”) strives to follow its ideals through prayer and action, raising money for mission efforts at home and in the Third World and taking part in local programs, including 24 hour famines to raise money, collecting candy for Agape Street Ministry, running food drives, planning and setting up liturgies and leading the school in daily prayer.
