The visit began by gathering in the Blessed Edmund Rice Chapel with a Prayer Service. The group sung the Edmund Rice Brothers song 'We tell the sacred story' written by Liam Lawton. The group then went on a tour of the museum and Heritage Centre led by staff and Brothers of the Heritage Centre.

Prayer Litrugy
At the conclusion of this tour, the group once again gathered in the Chapel for a final prayer liturgy accompanied by a group of student musicans with the whole congregation singing in beautiful harmony with each other in their native language. Included in this was a talk by the Principal, Dr. Alberto Olivero on the importance and significance of this sacred site and concluded with the singing of Live Jesus In Our Hearts in Spanish. The group were then invited into the Heritage Centre for refreshments where they practised their English! The next morning the group returned for the celebration of the Eucharist in the Chapel with Pedro Contepomi, the College's Chaplain.
