“G’day, Saint”

Pope Benedict XVI confirmed sainthood on Mother Mary MacKillop, making her Australia’s first saint. In the 1800’s, Mary built schools with the Sisters of St. Joseph, after a brief stint with the Order of the Bloomin’ Onion.

Mother Mary will become the matron saint of all things Australian. This means any Catholic in need can pray to her whenever they are lost on a walkabout, are threatened with a boomerang, or see a bad Nicole Kidman movie.
