The 2021 Catholic Schools Week will take place from January 31 - February 6, 2021. The theme for Catholic Schools week 2021 is “Catholic Schools: Communities of Faith and Resilience.” We encourage all of our schools to use this week to highlight their Catholic identity in the charism of Blessed Edmund Rice. We thank all involved in helping to ensure that our schools are faithful to our Catholic heritage and the Essential Elements of an Edmund Rice Christian Brother Education.
Paintings of Christian Brother artist Kenneth Chapman, CFC, have been selected for the Eucharistic Congress Art Exhibition, In Memory of Me. The works, from different moments of a lifelong engagement in contemplative thought and artistic expression, offer Eucharist images present in recent writings of Pope Francis and influenced by insights from the Jesuit paleontologist and mystic, Teilhard De Chardin, S.J.
In Brother Valdes’ painting of The Resurrection we see Christ rising from the tomb.
Bergen Catholic helped participate in the 2024 Edmund Rice Day of Service alongside three other Edmund Rice Christian Brothers schools: All Hallows, Iona Prep and Vancouver College on Thursday afternoon in New York.
We are still coming to terms with the untimely and sudden death of our beloved brother, Peter Bernard Clinch, who died suddenly on 28 January in the early hours of Sunday morning. The expressions of condolence and consolation have been extraordinary over recent days coming from Religious Institutes and their leadership, Edmund Rice Network members and Bishops.
