Mary MacKillop 1874

Feast Day - St Mary Mackillop: 8th August 

August is a special month to come together in solidarity and reflect on the impact Mary made and the place she still has in the lives of so many today. Let us honour and celebrate our patron saint, Saint Mary MacKillop.

Mary MacKillop was a person who spent her life reaching out, giving and connecting. God's presence was a dominant feature of her life. The witness we have experienced in a nation's response is Mary's call to us in every-day life. God is with us in it all, good or challenging.

Personal Reflection 

Let us ask ourselves whether Mary MacKillop’s inspirational response of reaching out, giving and connecting can become a natural call to all of us?

What aspects of our lives have we experienced the generous spirit of Mary MacKillop?

What gift can we express more fully?
