An Open Letter to C-BERS EX-PRESS
from the former Province Leader of the Christian Brothers Brother Tony Shanahan
As many readers of the 'C-BERS Ex-Press' may know, I have recently finished my six years as Province Leader of the Christian Brothers.
In the preceding six years I was Br Gerry Faulkner's deputy, so, over 12 years, I have met many men who were residents of Clontarf, Castledare, Bindoon and Tardun.
Some of these meetings were enjoyable, some were hard work, and some were very difficult experiences - and usually even more difficult for the men involved.
I want to say how much I have valued the opportunity to meet so many of you, whether or not the meetings were enjoyable or easy at the time. I have been deeply impressed by the courage, honesty, humour and compassion that I have seen in so many men.
These contacts have enriched me and been of great benefit to the Christian Brothers in helping us understand you and your concerns. I hope that these meetings have in some way helped you as well. Thank you to all who have taken the time to meet and share your stories with me. I wish you every blessing of peace and happiness.
Br Tony Shanahan
