Feast Day of Saint Mary MacKillop
Find out about the St Mary MacKillop Feast Day Celebrations planned for Wednesday 8th August, 2018 at Mary MacKillop Place, North Sydney.
Mary MacKillop Place is a site unlike any other because Australia’s first Saint, Mary MacKillop, lived, died and is buried here.
On 8th August each year, several thousand people come in pilgrimage to Mary MacKillop Place to honour St Mary of the Cross MacKillop in the celebration of Mass, by praying at her Tomb, and by sharing food and hospitality. We invite you to join with us and other Pilgrims as we honour Mary MacKillop in a special way on 8th August, 2018.
