St. Mary MacKillop

Melbournians are very proud to say that Australia's first saint (St
Mary MacKillop) was baptized at this church. This is a statue of St.
Mary outside the church in a lovely garden. St. Mary started an
orphanage for the Aborigine mixed blood children who were left to die.
Later she started an orphanage for children in New Zealand.
