This Thursday my school went to mass. It was saint Mary MacKillop's feast day. At mass our principal answered these 3 questions. Now I will answer them in my own way.
Who is Mary MacKillop?
St Mary MacKillop's name is Mary Helen MacKillop.
She was born on the 15th of January 1842. Her parents were born in Scotland but she was born in Melbourne Australia. She was an Australian nun.
What did Mary MacKillop do?
St Mary's first job was as a clerk at age 14. then she worked as a governess for her cousins. She taught her cousins as well as other farm children. She loved them and later on she became a teacher.
How did she become a saint?
In February 2010 and Australian Woman shared a testimony that after praying to Mary MacKillop her
cancer was healed and that October Mary MacKillop became a saint.

Hi Timiah,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing some info about St Mary MacKillop. I learned a number of new things about her, even though I have read a book about her - when she was born, how she became a Saint, and some of her other jobs. Something I would still like to find out, is where in Australia she did her teaching.
Thanks for sharing what you learned!!
