With the canonisation of Mary MacKillop in October, there’s been renewed interest in this determined woman of faith.

In the coming weeks you’ll see newspaper articles, documentaries and even a musical telling the story of Mary MacKillop’s life and faith.

Joanna Cole plays Mary MacKillop in the new stage show.  As a seasoned performer, Joanna is used to playing iconic Australian women – she played Lindy Chamberlain in the Opera Australia production Lindy.

Joanna has a special connection with Mary MacKillop’s life and work and sees Mary MacKillop is a spiritual role model for all Australians.
