| MARY MACKILLOP
|
‘Mary MacKillop - An Australian Like Us’ “... a ready introduction to the person and spirituality of Mary MacKillop, soon to be recognised as our first Australian Saint”
Sr Marie White rsj.
21. In 1876, a Diocesan Congregation came into being in Bathurst. Having no faith in Mary MacKillop, ‘a woman who had never spent one hour in religious training,’ the Bishop appointed as Sister Guardian one who had been with Mary since 1868. From Brisbane, Mary (‘young, sentimental, female, obstinate, colonial – and not Irish’) and her authority were dismissed. From 1880 all Sisters of St Joseph left Queensland (returning under central government in 1900).
