A story to inspire…
When you visit the Josephite Mission and History Centre you enter the site where a unique story has been unfolding for over a hundred years. It is a story which began with a dream shared by Mary MacKillop and Julian Tenison Woods at Penola, South Australia in 1866. The Centre was formerly the Mother House of the Sisters of Saint Joseph in Tasmania. It was established as such in 1907.
The centre is open to the public on weekdays between 10am and 4pm and by appointment weekends and public holidays. Phone us on (03) 6228 1628 to arrange a tour of the facilities for groups.
