Expressions of interest: Parent/carer excursion to St Mary Mackillop's Chapel & Museum, North Sydney
Calling all parents, grandparents, and carers! Get ready for an unforgettable day trip to North Sydney, where we’ll explore the life and legacy of Australia’s first saint, St. Mary MacKillop.
This will be a journey back in time as we tour the chapel and museum where St. Mary MacKillop lived. You’ll be captivated by a mini documentary movie about her extraordinary life and have the chance to see first-class relics up close. The highlight of our visit will be a moment of reflection at her tomb—a sacred space where we can bring our prayers for loved ones in need of healing or support and seek the powerful intercession of this remarkable saint.
In Week 10 of this term, we’ll travel together by public transport or meet directly at the museum for a guided tour. Afterward, we’ll gather at the tomb for prayer and enjoy a relaxing light lunch at the museum’s café before heading home. The tour costs just $10 per person, with lunch at your own expense. Mark your calendars for Tuesday, September 24th—this is an experience you won’t want to miss!
If you’re interested in joining me on this special excursion, please fill out the form with your name.
