Limited Edition Bronze Sculpture of
Sister Mary MacKillop by Internationally Acclaimed
Artist Alan Somerville of ANZAC Bridge Fame
In the light of Pope Benedicts visit to Australia, Sister Mary MacKillop is possibly going to become Australia's first and only Saint. Pope John Paul II beatified her during his visit to Australia 13 years ago when the first of two required proven miracles was recognised.
The church is currently investigating a second miracle; if this miracle gets verified, the door will be open for her to be canonised, which some predict will happen during Pope Benedict's visit in July 2008.
Sister Mary MacKillops's bronze statue has been created by Alan Somerville, the artist responsible for many public works in bronze including those on the Anzac Bridge and a stunning bronze of Pope John XXIII in Stanhope Gardens Catholic church.
Limited Edition of only 100 Statues
This is your chance to own a unique bronze statue of Sister Mary. The statue measures about 28cm in height and is 5 kg. This bronze statue is truly one of Alan Somerville's finest works and with the recent sale of his study "Simpson and the Donkey" for $25,000 your purchase is not only an important artwork and religious icon, it is also a great investment for the future.
