A Call to Participation

This program provides participants, as new staff in schools and associated ministries, with an introduction to the foundational stories that are the inspiration for our mission as Edmund Rice communities.

A Call to Participation presents Jesus’ model of missional activity as an invitation to be the best people we can in building a better, hope-filled world for all.

Participants will explore how they can bring their passions and energy to life in contributing to our inclusive, global educational network.

The program engages participants in the completion of an on-line App module, A Zoom gathering and a single day regional gathering. The dates for the single day component of the program are listed below.
