As much as we love Google it can only take us so far, the Internet doesn’t have all the information we want, at least not yet, it certainly doesn’t have all the pictures we want, and sometimes there is just no replacement for sitting back with a good book about a great woman.
Mary MacKillop Melbourne highly recommends:
“Gift of Mary MacKillop” by Colleen O'Sullivan RSJ
“Mary MacKillop: A Tribute” edited by Andrew Wilson."
“Seasons of Grace: Praying with Mary MacKillop” by Genevieve Ryan RSJ
“The Black Dress” by Pamela Freeman
“Mary MacKillop Unveiled” by Lesley O'Brien
