“Going therefore teach ye all nations . . IRELAND At present there are two Provinces in Ireland, St. Mary’s and St. Helen’s, which total approximately one thou- sand Brothers who teach in more than ninety schools. Brother Edmund Rice opened his first school in 1802. Mount Sion in Waterford, while not the original building, still continues to imbue its charges with the same spirit of faith that the Founder inculcated in this same institution some one hundred and sixty years ago. Established in 1904, St. Mary’s, Ma- rino, Dublin, is the nerve center of the Congregation. Besides being the official residence of the Brother Superior, it also has the distinction of being the Training College for many of the Brothers of the Irish Provinces. 8 9 L jjJB .

For anyone who has attended Vancouver College the black habit of the Brothers represents a religious devoted to God, a teacher devoted to his students, a coach devoted to his team, and a friendly advisor always ready to help. As religious, they give living example of the way to live as a good Catholic gentleman. As teachers, the Brothers are well qualified, each having one or more degrees. In general, the Brothers encourage activity in athletics, stressing the principles and the spirit of sportsmanship. These may be some of the reasons why the order of the Christian Brothers of Ireland has shown such phenomenal expansion all over the world.
