Production is complete on Blessed Mary: A Saint For All Australians
Host Alan Jones visits some of the most significant places in Mary’s life – Penola and Adelaide in South Australia, Sydney and Bathurst in New South Wales – we learn of the mission, the vocation, the trials and the opposition. The story is supported by voices delivering text taken from the enormous resource of correspondence to, from and about Mary. More than a thousand of the letters that she herself wrote are in existence.
The story of Mary MacKillop is full of drama, intrigue and controversy as well as piety, devotion and faith. It unfolds against a background of dynamic change in Australia and in the Catholic Church both here and around the world.
Blessed Mary: A Saint for All Australians premieres on FOXTEL's The History Channel on the 10th October, 2010
