Sister Brigette explains why the Sisters of St Joseph decided to adopt the dress of the day rather than the traditional nun’s habit. She tells of their work in schools, nursing homes and hospitals helping others to discover who they are and the best that they can be and the healing and peace that people experience through Mary MacKillop Place.
