Mary MacKillop will become Australia's first recognised saint on Sunday, October 17, after Pope Benedict XVI announced the date of her canonisation in Rome.
Sr Jill Dance, Congregational Leader of The Sisters of St Joseph in Tasmania commented that "She was a very, very holy woman, a very very good woman".
According to the Sisters themselves, the road to official recognition as a saint has been a long one and the painstaking procedures ensure the integrity of the process and obviate any suggestion of dishonesty or favouritism. October 17 will be a day of celebration.
