WHAT better way for Brisbane archdiocese to celebrate its 150th anniversary than to have Blessed Mary MacKillop declared its patron.
It’s the perfect sesquicentenary gift from Rome, and one that could only be bettered now by Mary MacKillop being declared a saint. But we will have to be patient on that score.
As many have already observed, having Mary declared a saint this year would be perfect as the Sisters of St Joseph and their many supporters mark the 100th anniversary of her death.
There is something extra special about having a holy Australian woman – someone with whom Australians may easily identify – as patron of the archdiocese.
Her strong spirit and down-to-earth approach to helping the poor, fits well with the values often admired in our nation.
Blessed Mary MacKillop, pray for us.
