Led by Sr Anne Bond rsj, Assistant Director of Mary MacKillop Place, and Mr Garry McLean, inaugural Director of the Mary MacKillop Heritage Centre, this pilgrimage is an invitation for prayer and reflection.
Today, the Sisters of St Joseph recognise that each of us is on a daily journey of faith but there is a time in life when we feel called to join with others; seeking, listening, reflecting and seeing the hand of God at work in our own lives. Mary MacKillop offers such an opportunity to journey to significant places in Australia made holy by Saint Mary MacKillop. While on pilgrimage, we are invited to reflect on Saint Mary MacKillop’s life and to recognise her relevance in our own lives. Such reflection can encourage us to emulate her courage, perseverance, joy and deep faith.
Mary MacKillop Place, North Sydney, is recognised as a national place of pilgrimage in Australia and is made sacred by Australia’s first canonised saint being entombed in the Memorial Chapel.
