On August 28th, members of the ERCBNA Province and Latin America region joined Edmund Rice International for an online Zoom webinar, Coffee With Edmund the Advocate. This webinar was centered on exploring Edmund Rice’s life as an advocate for human rights and social justice, in the context of the work being done today.

The event was moderated by Brother Kevin Cawley, CFC, and included a keynote address by Brother Raymond Vercruysse, CFC, that explored Edmund Rice’s life as an advocate in the context of the goals of the Edmund Rice Christian Brothers: presence, compassion and liberation.
