The Gift of Mary MacKillop Colleen O'Sullivan Hardcover Book

Here is the perfect companion volume for getting to the heart of what made Mary MacKillop so extraordinary. Not only does Colleen O'Sullivan, herself a Josephite sister, explain why and how Mary became worthy of becoming Australia's first saint, but Lynne Muir offers exquisite calligraphy and historical illustration to lift the reader into sharing Mary's sensibilities. The product of the two invites readers on their own reflective pilgrimage as they share Mary's story: that of a poor woman born into colonial Australia who rose against great odds through unwavering faith to establish the Sisters of St Joseph, whose fundamental legacy in education, social work and charity is legend here and overseas.
