Today, we celebrate the man who started it all.
Happy Birthday to Blessed Edmund Ignatius Rice, born on June 1, 1762. A man of deep faith and radical generosity, Edmund Rice gave up a life of comfort and wealth to educate the poorest children in Waterford, Ireland; and in doing so, planted a seed that would grow into schools, communities, and brotherhoods across the world, including right here on 99th and Pulaski.
Every Crusader who walks through our doors is part of the legacy he began. Today, we honor his memory and renew our commitment to the mission he gave his life to build.

Father Mark Walter ended this school year as his last year as Brother Rice Chaplain. Fr. Mark served as Chaplain at BR for over 20 years, providing spiritual guidance to faculty, staff, students and our overall community. The Brother Rice community will forever be grateful for these years of service. Thank you Father Mark!

On behalf of the entire Brother Rice community, we honor the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice is the foundation of the freedoms we enjoy every day — and it will never be forgotten.
To the Crusaders, alumni, and families who have served or who have lost someone in service to this nation — thank you. We hold you in our prayers.
