65 Years a Professed Dominican Religious Sister!

Sister Mary Thomas was 'hugged to death' on the 16th of December on the occasion of her 65th anniversary of her Religious Profession. It was a special day, and we younger Sisters are inspired and encouraged by her example of fidelity throughout six and a half decades. Below, Sister Mary Thomas sends her love to her Irish family. She is pictured with another Irish Australian, Sr M Catherine. 
  

The Season of Fruit, and even the convent's water-short garden produced a crop of apricots, and some nectarines and berries, as well as the biggest harvest of lemons in years!

    


 For the Anniversary of the end of World War I, two sisters taught the Year 3/4 class some Wartime favourite songs.

 Saint Mary MacKillop Colleges, Wagga Wagga

The beautiful school, in which the sisters are blessed to perform their part-time teaching apostolate each morning, (most of their life is lived within their convent) was recently ranking 67th in the Better Education Australia's list of Top NSW Secondary Schools. The 130 students from K - 12 are a constant source of joy as they grow in their faith and develop as Christian persons.
