The Arrival of "Penola"
March 2010
It was with great joy and local interest that our small building named "Mary MacKillop Penola House" was recently placed upon land in Becora. Sister Julian will live here while the Mary MacKillop Training Centre is being built.
After 15 years of renting premises in which to live and work, this is the promise of good things to come. We will be building offices, teaching facilities and a residence so that our work can continue to expand. We welcome your interest and support as this venture takes shape.
