Did you know that the first group of FCJ sisters arrived in Australia on 1 June 1882?In our 135th year, we recognise and celebrate the Twelve sisters, from Ireland and England, who disembarked from the SS Liguria at Sandridge (Port Melbourne) after a voyage from England that lasted six weeks. They were missioned in response to an urgent call to help with the education of Catholic children in Australia. It wasn't until a few years later, in 1889, that Genazzano FCJ College was established.Our Stained Glass in the d'Houët foyer is a constant reminder of this significant part of our history.
