Feast of St Mary MacKillop

On 8 August, people across the world who continue to be inspired by St Mary of the Cross, Mackillop will celebrate her life and legacy. Australia’s only Saint, Mary’s love and compassion excluded no one. She had a very special place in her heart for those most disadvantaged, marginalised or isolated. Read about her life and respond with inspiration and hope that we too may model her compassion and charity to those we serve today.
