Mary MacKillop was born in Australia in 1842 of Scottish immigrant parents. She was a very determined and fiery woman dedicated to the education of children and protection of women and children. During 1867 she founded the Order of nuns known as the Sisters of Saint Joseph and founded the Order's first school in Penola South Australia. By 1871 the Order had founded 40 schools and women's refuges in South Australia and Queensland. The Order later founded many schools in New South Wales. The Order thrived and nowadays has schools all over Australia and New Zealand. I regret to say I do not know the exact number of schools founded by the Sisters Of Saint Joseph but considering the wide area their teaching covers the number of schools and refuges would be very considerable.
