Mary MacKillop Precinct
Mary MacKillop Precinct is a welcoming place of spirituality, hospitality, education and pilgrimage.
The Precinct comprises:
* Mary MacKillop Museum, a little slice of South Australian history focusing on the story of St Mary MacKillop and her pioneering sisters
* St Joseph’s Chapel, Mary MacKillop’s much loved place of prayer and reflection
and
* Bethany, our conference centre, where we host spirituality, personal and professional development programmes. Bethany is also available to hire.
Mary's legacy lives on here!
