How did Mary MacKillop become a saint?
In June 1995 MacKillop was beatified by Pope John Paul 2nd. In February 2010, after an Australian woman who claimed that her cancer had disappeared after she prayed to Mary MacKillop, Pope Benedict 16th recognized MacKillop as a saint. She was canonized that October.
