New Mary MacKillop website launched

Published: March 12, 2010

The Sisters of St Joseph have launched a new official Mary MacKillop website, which features an interactive journey into her life and legacy, at www.marymackillop.org.au.

The website features never-before-seen images of Mary MacKillop, readings of her final letters and virtual tours of Mary's tomb and her last home - Alma Cottage, according to a media release.

Sister Annette Arnold worked closely with leading international web developers, Fraynework Multimedia, to create a site that makes Mary and her story accessible to all people regardless of where they live and regardless of their religion.

"This website gives anyone interested in the story of Mary MacKillop an intimate and personal understanding of her life and the contributions she made to Australia," said SOSJ's Sister Annette Arnold.

"The combination of captivating video, audio, art and historical imagery help bring the story of one of Australia's great pioneering women to life in a compelling digital form," says Director of Client Services of Fraynework Multimedia, Sister Anne Walsh.

The site was developed with Fraynework, international web developers and a ministry of the Sisters of Mercy.

  3. There are certain names that haunt the popular Catholic media with a determination and longevity that defies the norm. Arnold Jago has to be one of those people.
    I'm sure I first saw his items in the now defunct Melbourne Advocate when I was teenager and I have just turned 57.
    Really Arnold, I suggest you are being a bit naughty using this forum for such blatant self-promotion.
    I think if I wanted to find the truth about Mary Mackillop and her vision I would turn to original sources and the community that bears her name.
