ER NETWORK
"The Edmund Rice Network is an association of groups, institutions and people that look to Edmund's story as part of their personal inspiration or that have a connection to an Edmund Rice/Christian Brothers' inspired ministry."
The Edmund Rice Network identifies with and strives to live this Edmund Rice vision. Some current examples of groups in the Edmund Rice Network in Oceania are: Edmund Rice Education Australia and Catholic Schools in the Edmund Rice tradition, Edmund Rice Family groups, the Edmund Rice Camp Movements, Edmund Rice Ministries, Edmund Rice Communities, Edmund Rice Reflection Groups, Justice Groups, Callan Services, Associations of former Brothers and other groups associated with the Edmund Rice or Christian Brothers' names.
ERNWA/ERNSA
In both Western Australia and South Australia a group of people, each a representative of a particular ministry, meets within the state four times a year to provide a networking opportunity for all groups. The groups are called ERNWA (Edmund Rice Network WA) and ERNSA (Edmund Rice Network SA).
In South Australia this group publishes a broadsheet - ERNSA News - the latest edition can be found here ERNSA News
