Be Fierce for Fair on the Feast Day of Australia’s most loved Saint

Celebrate Saint Mary MacKillop’s Feast Day as a faithful community who believe in being fierce in the face of adversity and fair where there is injustice.

When Mary saw families living on the margins without access to education, she set up a school to teach children herself — regardless of their situation. She and the Sisters of St Joseph went wherever the need was greatest. And despite facing enormous challenges, they continued to walk with people every step of the way.

“Let us show love in our acts.”
– St Mary MacKillop

This August, let’s walk in Mary’s footsteps. Like Mary, let’s be fierce in the face of adversity. Let’s be fair and act when we see injustice. Let’s give love to those we encounter each day. Together, let’s be Fierce for Fair!
