On Wednesday 19 March 2014 students and teachers from many schools within Australia took part in a very special Mass at the Mary MacKillop Memorial Chapel Celebrating the 100th year Anniversary of the consecration of the Mary MacKillop Memorial Chapel, North Sydney.
The Mass was lead by concelebrants Bishop Terry Brady, Auxiliary Bishop of Sydney, Father Ray Schmack and David Catterall.
At the end of the mass a representative from each participating school received a centenary candle to take back to their school community. The candle serves as a reminder to walk in the light of Christ and to carry that light into our world.
After the liturgy, Mr Shaun Coates and Mr West Melton buried a time capsule in the grounds of Mary MacKillop Place, With the hope that when the sisters open the time capsule in 2114, Mary MacKillop will be known by everyone across the world and that the Mary MacKillop chapel will still be a place of pilgrimage.

January 21 is the feast day of St. Agnes of Rome, our patron saint. She is the patron saint of young girls, chastity, survivors and the Children of Mary. St. Agnes is often shown as a young girl with a lamb, which represents her purity, and a palm branch, like other martyrs. The lamb may be at her feet or in her arms, reminding us of her innocent faith and courage.
