    It was so good to visit the Mary MacKillop Heritage Centre to see and hear about Marys life and all the good work she did.

    Such a delightful place to visit, so much detail given to the life of Mary MacKillop. The nuns in attendance were friendly and knowledgeable, I highly recommend a visit when you next visit East Melbourne.

    Took international visitors here and we all found it an extremely interesting place. Would recommend that others make a visit to this place and learn about the history that is freely available once you arrive.

    So peaceful! Thank you, God, for the SOSJ and the people who now run the heritage centre. A well positioned place when you just need somewhere to pray!

    The hospitality starts with the reception area with the wheelchair used by Saint Mary MacKillop. Self-Guided museum audio tour concludes with a tranquil chapel. My students simply love it❣️

    Spent some reflective time here, the museum dedicated to St Mary MacKillop is truly humbling. I am always in awe of people that have such a deep faith and demonstrate it by being totally and unreservedly in service to marginalised people who deserve respect and dignity. To think that Mary MacKillop started her life's work in the late 1800's and her work and vision still continues today because people who also believed in her calling, are still of service to people and communities around the world today. This is why I truly believe that the world is a much better place, for without people like Mary MacKillop and those who have followed in her foot steps, we would be much, much poorer. I have been told since my childhood, "God helps those that help themselves". In this case it is clearly demonstrated by Mary Mackillop's devotion to God. If you have some time, visit the museum, the chapel. Read, sit, reflect and allow the grace of St Mary MacKillop to be with you.
