Christian Brothers expand schooling in Ireland and England
The text outlines how a charitable leader left business to fund and establish schools across Ireland and England. By 1844 fourteen Irish and twelve English schools existed, with a selfless group of men forming a religious congregation later recognized by the Pope in 1820 as the Brothers of the Christian Schools of Ireland. The movement now runs about 300 schools and colleges worldwide educating around 80,000 students. An Irish artist designed Brother Rice commemorative items on sale through February 1945. A Castile commemorative stamp value of 75c blue is noted alongside a previously reported 40-centimes value, showing Spain’s coat of arms linked to historical language ties.
