Join us in Celebration!

To mark the 10th anniversary, on 17 October, of her canonisation as Australia’s first Saint, the Sisters of Saint Joseph invite you to celebrate the wonderful life and inspirational legacy of Saint Mary of the Cross.

The theme for this celebration is “Take Fresh Courage” a line penned by Mary MacKillop on 21 May 1877.
