About The Author
“When I was a little girl my father used to tell my sister Louise and me that one day we would be related to a saint. Although we were too young to understand at the time, we saw this come true when we celebrated as Mary MacKillop became Australia’s first saint. What a joyous day!”

What others are saying about this resource!
“We love it. I bought the school one as Sr Mary and I will be part of the activities day at the Mary MacKillop School here. We are using it then. I have bought another single use copy as I have a visiting Sister of St Joseph here at the moment and she saw ours. She visits schools for RE lessons so she wants a copy for herself and to show the schools so that they will order a school one for themselves. God bless. ” Chris Symonds Sisters of Saint Joseph Penola
