History of the Christian Brothers

The Christian Brothers were founded in Waterford Ireland in 1802 by Edmund Ignatius Rice who was beatified in Rome in 1996. He was a wealthy committed Catholic businessman noted for his charity towards the poor. The death of his wife shortly after the birth of a handicapped daughter was a catalyst in his life. It deepened his spirituality which made him more aware of the needs of the marginalised especially young boys who lacked education in faith, literacy, numeracy and often lacked the basic necessities of life. He established schools for these boys despite the fact he had no teacher training and was in his early forties. Gradually other men, often businessmen like himself, joined him inspired by his charity and compassion. Other schools spread rapidly throughout Ireland. By the time of his death in 1844 his considerable fortune had been spent in establishing schools. In his own life time schools had been set up in England, and by the turn of the century schools were founded in America, India, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand.[1]

The Christian Brothers arrived in New Zealand in 1876 and, in that year opened a secondary school in Dunedin, the Christian Brothers School. From the arrival of the Christian Brothers, New Zealand was administered as part of the Australasian province incorporating Australia, New Zealand and, from 1950, Papua New Guinea. In 1959, New Zealand became St Joseph's Vice-Province. This resulted in New Zealand Brothers returning to work in their home country and many Australian brothers went in the opposite direction. In 1966 New Zealand became a full Province of the order.[2]

In recent years, especially following the integration of their schools into the New Zealand state education system and with aging membership and a lack of recruits, the New Zealand Christian Brothers have generally moved away from teaching in and managing schools and have refocused on those at the margins of society. There is still, however, strong support for the New Zealand schools and a focus on establishing and supporting schools in Oceania, Africa and the Philippines.

In 2007, the Christian Brothers provinces in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific (including St Joseph's Province, New Zealand) were abolished and replaced by one new Oceania Province which was itself sub-divided into twelve "clusters". Each cluster leader is responsible for the pastoral care of the Brothers in the cluster as well as encouraging close links with the Edmund Rice Ministries and Edmund Rice Network in that cluster area. The New Zealand Cluster includes: the Christian Brother Communities at Young Street Dunedin, 24A Wharenui Road Christchurch, 24B Wharenui Road Christchurch, Rarotonga, Murupara, Otorohanga, the Edmund Rice Community Westport, the Edmund Rice Community Auckland and the Mission Sisters/Christian Brothers community in Opotiki. The other clusters in the Oceania Province are: Papua-New Guinea Cluster; NSW Cluster A; NSW Cluster B; NSW Cluster C; Victoria & Tasmania cluster A; Victoria & Tasmania cluster B; Victoria & Tasmania cluster C; Queensland cluster A; Queensland cluster B; South Australia Cluster; and Western Australia Cluster.

[the] comings and goings [of the boys at the Hostel where Br J B Lynch and his brother, Tom, boarded]. He or another Brother supervised study in the school each night and saw the boys to bed. The fact that Br Bowler might turn up at the hostel at any hour of the day or night ensured reasonable standards of conduct"; Redcastle Recollections, pp. 5 and 30; O'Neill, p. 49: " ... Perhaps it is because of the fact he has so many Old Boys who are now [i.e. 1968] advanced in years and can appreciate what he did for them, but whatever the reason it appears that Brother Bowler is one of the most revered Brothers who has taught at Christian Brothers in Dunedin. He was a hard but just man, thoroughly devoted to his duty, and possessed of little sympathy for the sluggard. Brother Bowler at times tended to terrorise the boys, but he always had their best interests at heart"; Ibid., p. 84; Graeme Donaldson, p. 6.
