In 1856, Mary MacKillop, an Australian nun and co-founder of the Sisters of St Joseph of the Sacred Heart, faced significant challenges when she was excommunicated by Bishop Patrick Quinn of Adelaide. This excommunication was primarily due to her advocacy for the rights of the poor and her efforts to establish a Catholic school system in Australia. However, her excommunication was later lifted in 1860, and she continued her work in education and social justice, eventually becoming Australia's first canonized saint in 2010.
