Saint Mary MacKillop's rebellious courage continues to inspire (Catholic Leader)

YEAR 12 St Mary MacKillop, Nundah students Vashti Hooper and Gopika Raj said their school's patron saint was an “inspiration for all of us”.

“For me, the way of Mary MacKillop is a just and compassionate response lived in faith and love,” she said. “She was briefly excommunicated by the Church, yet she still did what was right,” she said. Miss Raj said she admired the saint for “standing outside the norm”.

A message from Sr Monica Cavanagh, Congregational Leader, Sisters of Saint Joseph. Greetings for the feast of Saint Mary MacKillop (8 August).

In a troubled world let us hear her voice calling us to ‘take fresh courage’ as we work for justice and peace. Mary MacKillop brought a heart-centred church to the struggling communities of her time consoling sorrowing hearts, embracing hardships with compassion and educating thousands of children. She herself sought that same guidance of the Spirit as she endeavoured to explain the necessity of the Institute to Monsignor Kirby in Rome.
