A Twitter from the head Brown Joey

Lots of people twittering these days, but did you know Mary MacKillop has a twitter account?

Yes, the bossy nun who managed to get herself excommunicated at one point in her life, has not come back from the grave, but has another Sister twittering on her behalf, using quotes from her letters, since after all, she did die almost a hundred years ago.


Her sisters are affectionately known as the "Brown Joeys", because of their brown habits, by the irreverent Aussies.



Actually, it's her foundations that does the work for her, since she is both dead and up for sainthood (the first Aussie Saint).
