An Irish educator who helped school millions of boys around the world will be honoured in Waterford City tomorrow.

THE dream to turn one of Waterford city’s most historic sites into a place of pilgrimage with a visitor centre of international standard becomes reality this Friday.

A CENTRE dedicated to Edmund Rice, founder of the Christian and Presentation Brothers, is to be opened shortly by Taoiseach Bertie Ahern.

A PLANNING application is to be submitted to Waterford City Council over the coming days for a development project designed to transform the historic Mount Sion site on Barrack Street into one of Ireland’s premier ecclesiastical and heritage tourism sites.
