St. Mary MacKillop was canonized (declared a saint) in 2010 after the Roman Catholic Church recognized two miracles that were credited to MacKillop’s intercession. The first miracle was the healing of a woman with leukemia in 1961 after she prayed to MacKillop. In 1993 a second woman claimed that her terminal cancer had disappeared after calling upon MacKillop in prayer and coming into contact with one of the nun’s relics (a piece of MacKillop’s clothing).
