The Chapter recognises and joyfully affirms the emergence in many parts of the world of individuals and groups who are inspired by the vision of Edmund Rice and express his charism in ways appropriate to their situation.

We reaffirm the value of the Brothers' vocation, convinced that vowed members make a unique contribution to spreading the Reign of God in the world.

This growing movement:

bulletautomatically includes all vowed members of the Congregation
bulletincludes men and women of all ages from different  backgrounds and walks of life
bulletallows for short-term and longer term committment
bullethas led to the formation of various groups and associations, some formal and some informal
bulletis respectful of people's autonomy and freedom
bullethas great potential for enabling both Brothers and other followers of Edmund Rice to live Jesus' vision more fully
bulletwitnesses the power and vitality of Edmund's charism in a global context.

 

We as brothers acclaim the Edmund Rice Family as a gift for the Church and the world, and work in partnership with all authentic expressions of Edmund's charism.
