This piece of news has been on TV news for the whole week and finally the ceremony was held in Rome, Italy today.
Thousands of Australian have flown to Italy to witness the ceremony of Sister Mary's canonisation.
This article has a very good news angle, as this is the first Australian saint ever, and it draws alot of attention from the whole world. Also, the structure of the article is very organized and clear, it starts with telling readers about the canonisation, and explained that its not only Saint Mackillop that was canonised, there were 6 Saints in total to be canonised on this day. Then it brings up a very good information, that what is exactly the criteria to be a saint, and that is for the Church to recognise their intermediary role in two miracles. And then it starts explaining the two miracles of Saint Mackillop, that she healed two cancer patients. And before the article ends, the author briefly described the life of Saint Mackillop and how she is important to catholics in Australia.
Overall, the article contains a lot of information about Saint Mackillop and the ceremony, but it can be
improved by putting up more pictures, as there is only one small-sized picture and the picture itself didn't say much about the ceremony. Also, it was quite confusing to me, when I first read the criteria of being a Saint was to perform miracles, and the people that Saint Mackillop has healed were born after she died, as I thought she performed the miracles when she was alive. Or maybe its just me haha, but I think the author could have explained it more clearly.
