Some highlights…
This year marks the 25th anniversary of the death of our founder, Fr John Corcoran Wallis. In this edition, we reflect on a special gathering in Melbourne where family, friends, Sisters and many whose lives were touched by Fr John came together to remember, share stories and give thanks for his remarkable life and enduring legacy.
We also celebrate 82 years since the foundation of the Missionary Sisters of Service, sharing highlights from our Foundation Day gathering in Melbourne and a fascinating glimpse into the MSS Archives. There’s news of Katherine Owen, the latest recipient of the MSS Teresa Morse Scholarship, an update on the Australian Religious Archive, and a snapshot of where our Sisters are now and some of the ways they continue to connect, contribute and enjoy life in their communities.
There is so much more to discover in our online Newsletter, with additional stories, photographs and the latest news from the MSS and our wider community. Grab a cuppa and enjoy!
