Mary MacKillop was born in Melbourne in 1842. When she was in Penola she met Julian Tenison Woods and together they opened the first St Joseph's School in 1866.
Mary MacKillop and Julian Tenison Woods founded the Sisters of St Joseph to continue this work. Over the many following years, the number of Sisters grew as did their schools. Schools were opened as the needs arose: in country towns, mining towns, cities. The Sisters also became involved in other areas of need including setting up a refuge for women in need and orphanages for children, visiting prisons and working with the sick.
History ….
Mary MacKillop moved to a cottage in Mount Street, North Sydney, in the 1880s.
In 1913, the Sisters of St Joseph established a training school at North Sydney for the teacher training of the Sisters. In 1958, lay students were admitted to the College which in 1971 became the Catholic Teachers' College. In 1982, this College became part of Catholic College of Education. It was at this stage that the name MacKillop was given to this campus to identify it as a discrete part of the College and to recognise the ongoing support of the Sisters of St Joseph.
At the end of 1990, the Catholic College of Education Sydney formally handed over responsibility for the College and its operations, which now rests with ACU.
A bronze sculpture of Mary MacKillop near the entrance was commissioned by Vice-Chancellor Professor Greg Craven to depict St Mary in her later years, when the convent on Mount Street was her home.
Mary MacKillop's famous saying was "Never see a need without doing something about it"
Well..... there was a need, a geocache in her honour, and something has been done about it!
This is one of many caches placed in significant locations of her story. There are 150 traditional and 5 multi’s in honour of Mary MacKillop, placed by Travelling Sister and maintained by local geocachers in all states and territories except NT, also in New Zealand, Scotland and Ireland. It’s believed that Mary MacKillop visited every location during her lifetime.
Mary died on August 8th, 1909.
She was declared Australia’s first Saint in 2012.
