10th Anniversary of Mary MacKillop’s Canonisation
The 10th anniversary of the canonisation of St Mary of the Cross MacKillop is on Saturday, 17 October 2020.
The Sisters of St Joseph invite you to celebrate the wonderful life and inspirational legacy of St Mary MacKillop, our first Saint. The theme for this celebration is “Take Fresh Courage”, a quote by Mary MacKillop on 21 May 1877.
A "Courage Hour" will be held on the vigil of the anniversary at 8pm on Friday, 16 October (your local time), where all can participate online at the Sisters of St Joseph Web site. Join in this Global Vigil to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Mary’s canonisation. This special event will be an hour of deep peace, prayer and reflection on Mary’s courage. You can host your own celebration or participate online via the Sisters of Saint Joseph Web site. Together, we can all follow Mary’s lead.
