Western Australia: Mary MacKillop Centre, South Perth

The Centre was initiated by the Sisters of St Joseph of the Sacred Heart at the time of Mary MacKillop's beatification in January 1995. There was a 'call' amongst the Sisters to have a gathering place so that others could come and learn about this great Australian woman. It is hoped that this venue will be a source of inspiration, provide a sense of belonging and give healing for those whom come to visit.
