CATH NEWS REPORT: Hundreds of people descended on Penola in South Australia yesterday to celebrate the first feast day since the canonisation of Saint Mary MacKillop, reports the ABC.
The Vatican flag was flying in the town as it hosted its first Feast Day celebration since Mary MacKillop's canonisation in Rome last October.
Volunteers at the Mary MacKillop Interpretive Centre have reported a surge in visitors to the town in the lead-up to the day that marks the anniversary of Mary MacKillop's death in 1909.
The events for the day included a Mass, with a blessing for the sick, and free admission to visitors at the Mary MacKillop Penola Centre.
