The Saints of our Parish


Picture
St Stephen
​St Stephen was the first  Christian martyr, and the  Cathedral and Chapel  are named in his honour.   His story is recounted  in the River of Stone, on   the glass panels of the  walls of the Francis Rush  Centre, and in the West   Window of St Stephen’s  Chapel. His image is  interpreted in stained  glass in the West Window  of the Cathedral and in  an icon in the apse of the  Cathedral.

St Mary of the Cross MacKillop
​St Mary of the Cross   MacKillop is the Patron of  the Archdiocese of Brisbane.  She is the first Australian to  be canonised a saint.  She was born in 1842 and  co-founded the Sisters of  St Joseph with Fr Julian  Tennison-Woods in Penola,  South Australia in 1866.  She built and staffed  many schools and welfare  institutions in Australia and  New Zealand. She died in  1909 and was canonised  in 2010.

Visit  the Sisters of St Joseph website for more information about St Mary of the Cross MacKillop

St  Patrick
Saint Patrick was a fifth-century Romano-British Christian missionary and bishop in Ireland. Known as the "Apostle of Ireland", he is the primary patron saint of Ireland.   The dates of Patrick's life cannot be fixed with certainty, but there is broad agreement that he was active as a missionary in Ireland during the fifth century.   According to the autobiographical Confessio of Patrick, when he was about 16, he was captured by Irish pirates from his home in Britain and taken as a slave to Ireland, looking after animals; he lived there for six years before escaping and returning to his family. After becoming a cleric, he returned to northern and western Ireland. In later life, he served as a bishop, but little is known about the places where he worked. By the seventh century, he had already come to be revered as the patron saint of Ireland.
Saint Patrick's Day is observed on 17 March, the supposed date of his death.
