On Thursday 10 March, Aranmore Catholic College officially opened the Brother Mann Building in honour of Brother John Mann, a beloved Christian Brother whose life was defined by faith, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to his students and the community.
Brother Rod Ellyard, who spoke about Brother Mann at the opening, described him as a remarkable individual who, ‘despite being short of stature’, made a towering impact on those around him.
“A dedicated teacher of maths and science, Brother Mann had an extraordinary ability to engage his students and bring religious education to life through his deep faith. His classes reflected his passion for learning and teaching, and students were drawn to his warmth and enthusiasm,” said Brother Rod.
