Mary MacKillop Penola Centre

This museum centre was erected to highlight the impressive life of St. Mary MacKillop, a religious sister who founded the Sisters of St Joseph of the Sacred Heart (known as the Josephites) in 1866 to establish numerous schools for the poor throughout Australia and New Zealand. The centre contains two sections – one that focuses on St. Mary MacKillop, and the other on Fr. Julian Tenison Woods, the co-founder of the order.
