What’s on
Temporary exhibitions
The First Five
The ministries of the Sisters of Charity of Australia started when four Sisters and a Novice, boarded the Francis Spaight, sailing for 141 days to reach a new and foreign land. This exhibition explored the first five women religious to set foot in Australia and their story.
This exhibition is on display in the Heritage Centre reception area.
Pilgrims of Hope Today
As the Jubilee year of Hope draws to a close, join us as we look at Sisters today who serve as Pilgrims of Hope through their ongoing ministries.
This exhibition will be on display in the Heritage Centre reception area until March 2026.
Coming Soon
International Women’s Day: Give to Gain
This International Women’s Day we are exploring the power of reciprocity and support. The ministries of the Sisters of Charity of Australia have long been supported by fundraising efforts of those around them. From the bazaars organised to aid the purchase of the first convent, Tarmons, to raising funds for the St Vincent’s Hospital, Fitzroy, lay people have played a major role in providing the Sisters with the means to carry out their ministries and multiply the generosity shown to them.
The Sisters themselves are no strangers to fundraising, taking part in their own drives to raise money and give back to the communities that support them.
This exhibition will be on display from March 2026 until June 2026 in the Heritage Centre Reception.
