Today we celebrate our Founder’s Day (actual Feast day is May 5th). Blessed Edmund Rice, an Irish businessman who was so moved by the plight of children in the port city where he worked that he founded schools and eventually a religious order, the Christian Brothers, to serve them. He died in 1844, and was beatified in 1996 by Pope St. John Paul II, who called him “an outstanding model of a true lay apostle.” - Catholic News Agency Blessed Edmund Rice, pray for us. Live Jesus in our hearts forever. . . . #palmaschool #blessededmundrice #WhyWeChoosePalma #WhereBoysOfPromiseBecomeMenOfCharacter
