A Moment of Great Joy

Today, Australia will receive her first saint.  On Sunday evening (Australian time),  Pope Benedict will canonise Mother Mary of the Cross (MacKillop) along with five others of the Blessed.  

This is a day of immense pride for the Australian Catholic Church.  We look to Mother Mary of the Cross at a time when the Church in Australia falters amidst secularism and atheism.

Saint Mary of the Cross, pray for us!
