MacKillop Pilgrimages – MacKillop Beatification – Bus No.11 of 32 – Morwell to Sydney.
As a passenger on the above mentioned Bus I would like to express my and my wife’s gratitude for the organisation of the above trip, everything went off so smoothly.

There has been so much talked and written that I can only say how privileged I have been to be part of this magnificent celebration.
