Mary Mackillop: Books in the Library

A book that details the life stories of 36 courageous Australian women, who broke down the barriers of prejudice. Featuring heroines this book examines the lives of women who have influenced thousands of people. Chapter 19: Mary MacKillop (1842-1909): A role model for our time pp379-395

This great Christian woman provokes many questions, and some of them are not comfortably heard in today's Australia. God was the inspiration of everything she did and lived for.

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 illustrations to lift the reader into sharing Mary's sensibilities.

The Australian Book of Heroism is a collection of true stories of courage from the nineteenth century to the modern day. Chapter 15: Mother Mary MacKillop pp180-188
