Mary Mackillop underwent many challenges in her quest to educate the lowly Australian citizens, those
men higher above her in the Church did their best often to prevent her from doing her work. Ye she
overcame them with a growing swarm of supporter yet she also lost some of those close to her, forcing
her face these emotional battles outside those of her vocational battles

Gather: Defining Your Topic Scaffold
Name: Mary Mackillop
Chosen Topic: Challenges faced externally
Focus: How did she overcome these challenges
Interesting Facts, Quotes,
Observations
Research
Thinking Connections,
Inferences, Patterns
Questioning Who? What?
When? Where? How? Why?
Should? Would? Could?
How will I use this
information?
What do I need to do now?
Research and develop how she
overcame this
How she overcame this
challenge and what traits does
she possess to do so
Mary was excommunicated as
she repelled the changes the
Bishop made to her newly found
order and was excommunicated
Link it in as another challenge
that Mary faced and link it to her
faith as she remained faithful in
God
Fill in the gaps to link the actions
of Fr Woods, the Bishop and
Mary’s excommunication
together
Mary was often opposed by two
Bishop Quinn’s
Link this in as another challenge
faced by Mary
Found out she dealt with them
and also why they opposed her
Mary travelled to Rome to the
seek official approval for a central
Governing force to control her
order nation-wide in Australia
Use it to display her
outgoingness and courage to do
whatever has to be done for her
Congregation
The implications of having a
central Governing order
Bishop Quinn in Queensland only
wanted the her sisters but they
act under his authority or be
shifted out despite Mary having
sought approval for a central
Governing body
To display another challenge
present in Mary’s life and what
seems to be a recurring one:
Bishop Quinn
Develop her efforts to solve and
the result of this predicament
Another Bishop Quinn in the
diocese of Bathurst wished to
have her sisters removed from
his diocese unless they were
under his control
Add another dimension to Mary’s
challenging life and her efforts to
overcome this
Establish to family connection
between the Quinns and the
difficulty that they put Mary in
Mary was appointed head of the
central governing body numerous
times but she was also pulled
from this position numerous
times
This also displays another of
Mary’s “saintly” characteristic,
persistence her unfailing efforts
to keep going, so shall tie that in
again with her other
characteristics that helped her to
Link to question to help prevail
how she overcome her life
challenges
Mary’s sisters in Adelaide where
misguided by Mary’s good friend
Fr Woods
overcome her challenges
Mary lost many love ones
through her trials in the Church.
Including her mother Flora and
her good Fr Tenison Woods who
helped Mary establish the order
in the first place
I will use this information as a
display of another aspect of
challenges that Mary had to face
Any other love ones she lost and
also how did it affect her
