On 17 October 2010 the Holy Father Benedict XVI celebrated the Eucharist in the churchyard of the Vatican Basilica and proceed to the Canonization of the Blessed. Pope Benedict XVI proclaimed Australia’s first saint, canonising a 19th-century nun, Mary McKillip, and also declaring five other saints in an open-air Mass. Speaking in Latin on the steps of St. Peter’s Basilica, Benedict solemnly read out the names of each of the six new saints, declaring each one worthy of veneration in all the Catholic Church. Among them was Brother Andre Bessette, a Canadian brother known as a “miracle worker”. “Let us be drawn by these shining examples, let us be guided by their teachings,” Benedict said in his homily, delivered in English, French, Italian, Polish and Spanish to reflect the languages spoken by the church’s newest saints. This book is a record of the Eucharist service from the day, the music and a biography of the saints blessed on the day. The illustrations in this volume come from The Grandes Heures of Anne of Brittany (Les Grandes Heures d'Anne de Bretagne in French) which is a book of hours, commissioned by Anne of Brittany, Queen of France.  It was illuminated in Tours, or perhaps Paris, by Jean Bourdichon between 1503 and 1508. It is now in the Bibliothèque nationale de France and it has 49 full-page miniatures in a Renaissance style.

Born in 1842, MacKillop grew up in poverty as the first of eight children of Scottish immigrants. She moved to the sleepy farming town of Penola in southern Australia to become a teacher, inviting the poor and local Aborigines to attend free classes in a six-room stable. She co-founded her order, the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph of the Sacred Heart, with the goal of serving the poor, the sick and the disadvantaged, particularly through education. As a young nun in 1871, MacKillop and 47 other nuns from her order were briefly dismissed from the Roman Catholic Church in a clash with high clergy. In addition to bitter rivalries among priests, one of the catalysts for the move was that her order had exposed a paedophile priest. Five months later, the bishop revoked his ruling from his deathbed, restoring MacKillop to her order and paving the way for her decades of work educating the poor across Australia and New Zealand. In his homily, Benedict praised MacKillop for her “courageous and saintly example of zeal, perseverance and prayer.” 

MacKillop became eligible for sainthood after the Vatican approved a second miracle attributed to her intercession, that of Kathleen Evans, who was cured of lung and brain cancer in 1993. Veronica Hopson, 72, was MacKillop’s first miracle, cured of leukaemia in 1961. Australia’s foreign minister, Kevin Rudd, was in Rome for the canonization, as was Canada’s foreign minister, Lawrence Cannon. The Polish president, Bronislaw Komorowski, joined thousands of Polish pilgrims to honour that country’s latest saint, Stanislaw Kazimiercyzk Soltys. Also canonised Sunday were Italian nuns Giulia Salzano and Battista Camilla da Varano, and Spanish nun Candida Maria de Jesus Cipitria y Barriola.
