Purpose

The purpose of this initiative is three-fold:

1. Increase Awareness and Devotion to St Mary Mackillop

St Mary MacKillop

St Mary Mackillop plays an important role in Australian Catholicism as she is our first and only Saint. She lived a life of goodness, humility, poverty and prayer; she took care of the orphans and those experiencing difficulties and hardship.

Today, many people experience poverty and homelessness, mental health issues and disabilities. St Mary, like all the saints, can help us.
