A Little bit of Dublin is going out of Dadar this month. The Irish Christian Brothers (CFC), the acronym comes from the 'Congregatio Fratrum Christianorum' (Latin) are leaving Our Lady of Salvation High School in Dadar. The teaching order, started by founder Edmund Ignatius Rice, took over the reins of this boy's only SSC board school in 1968. The CFC is primarily a worldwide religious community within the Catholic Church. Their first school was opened in Waterford, Ireland, in 1802.

In Mumbai, the Christian Brothers, teachers at the Salvation School, will say farewell to the school and to Dadar, the community they have impacted in many significant ways. Service to the poor is the edifice of this order. Dwindling numbers means that the Brothers are moving out of the schools they didn't own, but managed, and are re-organising themselves to do maximum work in other places, with the human resources they have. This school will go back to Salvation Church after the Brothers leave the institution.
