Friends, it is an absolute joy to share the news that Emeritus Professor Gabrielle McMullen AM, who has served on our MSS Stewardship Council for many years, has received an honorary doctorate from the Australian Catholic University (ACU) in recognition of her “contributions to the community and to humanity”.

Gabrielle, this honorary doctorate is so rightly awarded to you.  The number of church and other institutions you have supported over many years is beyond counting! We MSS are one of the extremely fortunate groups whom you generously accompany and to whom you have committed yourself. We can never thank you enough! With every good wish now and into the future.

Read more on our MSS website, including Gabrielle’s occasional address at the graduation ceremony on 6 May 2025 and her remarks at the graduation reception that followed.
