Mary MacKillop changed the world by co-founding Australia's first congregation of religious sisters, the Sisters of St Joseph of the Sacred Heart, in 1866. She dedicated her life to education and social justice, particularly for the poor and marginalized, establishing numerous schools and orphanages. Her commitment to these causes and her advocacy for the rights of women in the Church challenged societal norms and inspired future generations.
