Mary MacKillop is Australia's first saint who also had a lot of influence in New Zealand. Mary MacKillop believed in education for everyone and realised that country children in both Australia and New Zealand were being denied this opportunity. She founded an order of sisters - The Sisters of Saint Joseph of the Sacred Heart and these nuns set up many schools in New Zealand - many of these are called St. Joseph's (Papanui and Rangiora). The Sister of St Joseph were also at Our Lady of the Assumption School.
One of Mary MacKillop's favourite sayings was:
"Never see a need without doing something about it"
