Brisbane Shrine to St Mary MacKillop and Victims of Abuse




This chapel began life  following the 1989 renovations at the Cathedral of St Stephen in Brisbane as a tribute to the spirit of faith in the First Nations Peoples with wonderful works by Fiona Foley. A concerted campaign of vilification by Catholic racists pressured Archbishop John Bathersby to remove he images. 

The chapel space was then reconfigured as an Ecumenical space with framed copies of inter church covenants on display. 

Now in its third "reno" the ecumenical spirit has also been removed to make way for a duplicate shrine to St Mary of the Cross.

 Mass and Dedication of the new Shrine 21 October 2018
