Fr. Tom and Fr. Ben at the Tomb of Australia's first "Blessed" -- Mary MacKillop

Tomb of Blessed Mary MacKillop, foundress of the "Josephite Sisters" who were pioneers in establishing Catholic schools in Australia

This plaque commemorates a Eucharistic Miracle that took place in Sydney: from 1818 - 1820, the priest was exiled from Sydney by the anti-Catholic government, but the Catholic people kept vigil with our Eucharistic Lord and when the priest returned after two years, the Sacred Host had been preserved without even the slightest sign of corruption

St. Mary's Cathedral-Basilica, Sydney

Fr. Tom Sullivan and Fr. Ben Cameron had the honor of meeting with George Cardinal Pell, Archbishop of Sydney, to discuss our religious community and our apostolate of giving truly Catholic parish missions and retreats
