Episode notes

In June 2025, on the 180th anniversary of the first Catholic school in SA, 18 pilgrims, leaders within the sector, travelled to Ireland to learn about and experience the stories, courage and heart that drove the founders of the Irish orders that created our schools. In Episode 1, the group arrives in Ireland, then travels to Nano Nagle Place in Cork, and the birthplace and first home of Christian Brothers founder, Edmund Rice in Callan.
