Geocache Description:

Callan, County Kilkenny.

Blessed Edmund Ignatius Rice (1 June 1762 – 29 August 1844), was a Roman Catholic missionary and educationalist. He was the founder of two orders of religious brothers: the Congregation of Christian Brothers and the Presentation Brothers.

Rice was born in Ireland at a time when Catholics faced oppression under Penal Laws enforced by the British authorities. He forged a successful career in business and, after a tragic accident which killed his wife and left his daughter disabled, devoted his life to the education and service of the poor.

Christian Brother and Presentation Brother schools around the world continue to follow the system of education and traditions established by Edmund Rice.

On 2nd of April 1993, Pope John Paul II declared the Irishman, Edmund Rice, to be a man of heroic virtue.

Two years later, Rome approved a miracle attributed to Edmund's intercession. This cleared the way for his beatification with the bestowing of the title Blessed Edmund Rice at a ceremony in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, on Sunday, 6th of October 1996. In recent documents issued by the Vatican Congregation of Saint Edmund was recognised as being a gift to the Church. Recalling the era in which Edmund lived, the document praises him for his strong and clear faith, his Eucharistic piety, his devotion to the Mother of God, and his constant reflection on the sacred scriptures.

The cache is a small camouflaged plastic canister. Press with palm to open. BYOP.
