Due to her life and doings of Christian Service, Saint Mary of the cross Mackillop is a perfect nominee for the Good Christian awards.

Mackillop was the founder of the sisters of St Joseph of the sacred heart. On the 17th of October 2010, Mary Mackillop was said to be Australia’s first saint, and is now an influence on Men and Women across Australia.
