Together with the whole Church, Edmund Rice Education celebrates the election of His Holiness Pope Leo XIV.
We acknowledge the joy and pride felt by the North American and Latin American Churches and the international Augustinian community, as Pope Leo assumes leadership of the People of God, our Church, at a time of unprecedented challenge.

This election is a sign of great hope for the work of Catholic education in addressing the inequities on our planet, calling all young people to be advocates for the voiceless, and building communities of faith and learning through the radical message of the Gospel and the Social Teachings of the Church.

May the Holy Spirit continue to guide our Church through the courageous leadership of our new Pope.

"God cares for us, God loves all of us, and evil will not prevail! We are all in God’s hands. Therefore, without fear, united hand in hand with God and among ourselves, let us move forward". (Address: Pope Leo XIV May 9 2025)
 

Live Jesus in our hearts.
