Clare Ryan CEIST CEO made a moving address on the RTE program “With You in Spirt” which was broadcast on Wednesday 10-June after the national Mass service on RTE. In the piece Clare introduced herself as the CEO of CEIST and spoke a little about CEIST’s work from its founding back in 2007 by five congregations the Daughters of Charity, the Presentation Sisters, the Sisters of the Christian Retreat, the Sisters of Mercy, and the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart to its present day form of the Patron body for 108 Post-Primary Schools in Ireland. Where each of our schools are based on the founding visions of these congregations and continue to live out this charism in process and practice. She also spoke of the five core values of CEIST which are engrained in each of our schools and stressed the importance of this today stating “Essentially CEIST post primary schools through the whole process of teaching and learning promote the Gospel fulness of life and it is this emphasis on the fullness of life which has come to the fore during this pandemic.”
