Radio review - Sunday nights on ABC local radio

Published: March 22, 2012

Mary MacKillop was an early adopter of education methods, and her modern sisters are early adopters of computing technology. If you wander into the Mary MacKillop museum next to her shrine in North Sydney, you will find a large table-top screen, a unique nexus of computing design.

You can manipulate images 360 degrees (for a class gathered around), you can access historic documents and information in surprising ways, delving into the finest detail of who Mary MacKillop was. This is one saint who, through the mysteries of modern computing science, we can know in great detail - someone who can be really known as a person.

St Mary of the Cross is a saint who can be accessed through the touch screen. This is spirituality of the most practical kind.

This program, though broadcast last weekend, can be dowloaded from the ABC website.

  1. Congratulations on the wonderful new technology that you have installed to be able to share the story of Mary MacKillop with the wider public.
    It will be especially valuable for school groups.
    Though any technology comes at a cost, this has been a brave move for the Sisters of St Joseph. It will be of great use!
