As we celebrate Australia Day (January 26), some good news: Australia now officially has two patron saints, with St Mary of the Cross (McKillop) officially added as second patron saint of our country.

Thanks
God bless Australia.
A sigh of relief must have gone up in some quarters; Our Lady Help of Christians is not very PC
Yes, I'm surprised they didn't try and abolish OLHC!
But then again, if you are a bishop, St Mary's life (her many battles to preserve her order's integrity from undue episcopal interference, and especially her unjust excommunication) stands as a reminder of a long history in this country of abuse of power, so a case of six of one?
Why is Our Lady Help of Christians not Politically Correct??
She is associated under this title with the defense of Europe against anti-Christian forces, and particularly the defeat of the Muslim Ottoman Empire at the Battle of Lepanto.
