Brother Michael also taught catholic school teachers how to be more spiritual, which would be passed on to students.
Since coming to Red Bend, the school has had an improvement in the quality of facilities available, which Brother Michael said has lead to an increased quality of education for the students.
Brother Michael said the main thing he will miss about the school is the interaction with the students, teaching them or assisting them to learn, as that is what attracted him to education.
