Adelaide communities rejoice canonisations

Carmelites around the world, including lay Carmelites in Adelaide, are rejoicing the forthcoming canonisation of Brother Titus Brandsma. Also being canonised is French priest Charles de Foucauld whose writings inspired the foundation of the Little Sisters of Jesus which has a presence in Adelaide and Alice Springs.

Fresh look at Australian saint

As the nation prepares to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the canonisation of Mary MacKillop on October 17, budding young artists from Tenison Woods Catholic School, Richmond, have produced their own unique visual interpretations of Australia’s first and only canonised saint.

Flying the flag a decade on

Ten years ago South Australians turned out in their thousands to celebrate the canonisation of Australia’s first saint, Mary of the Cross MacKillop.

Prayer for Mary Ward

The Loreto Sisters are seeking the support of Australian Catholics for the successful conclusion of their founder’s canonisation case.
