MacKillop House celebrates our Australian Saint

The students of MacKillop House had their annual House Feast and House Mass on 8 August to celebrate the feast of Australia’s first and only saint, St Mary of the Cross MacKillop. Students came together in prayer at the beginning of lunch and learnt some of the history and significant life moments of Mary MacKillop. At the conclusion, we all shared a meal together and interacted with each other as a house.

The day continued with our house Mass where families, staff and students came together as a house community to celebrate our faith and reflect upon what it means to be in MacKillop. The message of the night was to enact our house motto and words of Mary MacKillop; ‘Never see a need without doing something about it.’
