‘Aust Day honour belongs to St Mary’

Sister Maria Casey rsj has dedicated her Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) to St Mary of the Cross MacKillop, who continues to have an “extraordinary impact” on people all over the world.

Sr Maria said she was proud to be recognised in the Australia Day honours list for her service to the community as postulator for the canonisation of Mary MacKillop, and to the Church in Australia.

She was vice-postulator from 2001 and was appointed postulator in 2008 to succeed Jesuit Fr Paul Gardiner, who stood down due to health reasons.

“The nomination was for the contribution I made to the cause of Mary MacKillop, bringing the canonisation process to a conclusion, and making her known not only in Australia but throughout the world,” Sr Maria said. [Full Story]
