mackillopPublic School Scripture Class Excursion to St Mary Mackillop Chapel and Museum

The Parish arranged a special tour this week for the Year 5 Catholic Scripture Class at the North Sydney DEM School to mark the year-end.

Fifteen children were warmly received by the Sisters of St Joseph and given privileged treatment in what was something of a pilot project for Special Religious Education in the public schools being served by our Parish. 

The children responded eagerly to the experience and described as 'favourite' the opportunity to kneel around the tomb of St Mary, reading together the inscriptions on the tomb while being introduced to the history of her life.
