The bronze statue of St. Mary MacKillop with her beloved dog, Bobbs, captures the warmth and humanity of Australia’s first saint. Seated in a wheelchair, Mary is portrayed with a serene smile, gently resting her hands on Bobbs, who sits faithfully in her lap. The intricate details of her habit, the texture of Bobbs’ fur, and her gentle expression emphasize her compassion and humility. Framed by ornate columns, the statue reflects Mary’s enduring spirit, her love for animals, and her deep connection to those she served. It serves as a poignant tribute to her life of dedication, resilience, and kindness.
