Blessing of the statue.
This is the statue after the the opening. I was pleased how it looked well against the stonework of the cathedral. It stands in the new Mary MacKillop Plaza beside Victoria Square, in the heart of the city of Adelaide, South Australia.
Many of the Josephite sisters were in attendance and also three sisters from India attended the unveiling.There were many congratulations from everyone and everyone was pleased with the image that I had conveyed. Family from Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria as well as Adelaide, came to the unveiling and stayed the weekend to celebrate with us.
