Bedtime Story:  Saint Mary MacKillop – The Heart That Would Not Quit

 Saint Mary MacKillop – The Heart That Would Not Quit Tonight’s Bedtime Story traces the remarkable journey of Saint Mary MacKillop, a woman whose courage, compassion and fierce sense of justice reshaped the spiritual and social landscape of Australia. Long before she was our first canonised saint, Mary was a determined young woman who refused to turn away from those who had nothing. She stood tall against poverty, prejudice and even the disapproval of powerful institutions, driven by a belief that every person deserved dignity and kindness. In this episode, we walk with Mary through the dusty towns where she taught, the challenges that nearly broke her, and the sheer resilience that kept her building a path for others. Hers is a story of hope rising in the hardest places, a reminder that one brave soul can shift the world around them.
