Mary MacKillop Today

At Mary MacKillop Today, education is at the heart of everything we do. We believe that it is a powerful and proven way out of poverty, capable of breaking down cycles of disadvantage for the most vulnerable.

By leaving a gift in your will, you share the belief that every person deserves the support they need to fulfill their potential, regardless of their circumstances.

At Mary MacKillop Today, we transform lives through self-determination, access to education and the learning of practical life skills. We stand with marginalised, rural and remote peoples regardless of their faith, ethnicity or gender.

Your gift will create generational change and be used to provide people, both in Australia and overseas, with access to opportunities to create a better future for themselves and their families.

Mary MacKillop was courageous. She was a woman of action, who stood with the poor and those on the fringes and was committed to the life-changing power of education and a sustainable livelihood. Like Mary MacKillop, we go where the need is greatest. With your support, we can continue her powerful legacy, providing compassion and care for generations to come.

When you remember Mary MacKillop Today in your will, you help create a better tomorrow for the most vulnerable communities in need.

‘As a career educator, the life-changing work of Mary MacKillop speaks to me like few other causes.  Mary MacKillop Today is making a real difference to the poor and neglected in targeted places such as East Timor and Peru through highly ethical, empowering, community-based initiatives that extend God’s loving hand of hope.  Like me, you will feel comfortable making a bequest to Mary MacKillop Today knowing it will be used effectively and efficiently in directly helping others less fortunate. Anyone making a bequest to Mary MacKillop Today – no matter how large or small – is warmly embraced and made to feel part of the community.’
