St Mary MacKillop Feast Day Celebration 8th August, 2026
Saint Mary MacKillop’s Feast Day will be celebrated at the Cathedral on Saturday 8th August, with Mass at 10am followed by a community celebration. All Guides and Welcomers are invited to joint this celebration.
The Catholic Leader has also featured a new book: Mary MacKillop and the Path of the Foundress, written by Brisbane author Carrie Lock, which details the lives of 50 women who founded religious orders, uncovering their moments of struggle, opposition, joy and peace.
As change agents, the foundresses needed to be risk-takers to redefine social boundaries, Ms Lock said.
With its particular focus on St Mary MacKillop, the patron saint of the Brisbane archdiocese, the book will be launched after the feast day Mass at St Stephen’s Cathedral, Brisbane, on August 8. The first copy of the book will be gifted to the Josephite Sisters.
