This from CathNews in Australia:
Twelve-year-old Catholic school student, Brandon Sheehan, who is a descendant of Mary MacKillop, will travel to Rome for her canonization on 17 October, said Catholic Education of the Parramatta Diocese.
Mary MacKillop, virgin and religious founder, will be canonized in Rome on October 17.
I’m reminded of the comment of a monk at a theology faculty meeting here: “In my family, I see more religious commitment among my ancestors than among my descendants.”
