History of Marian devotion in Australia

Australia, a country of British colonial foundation with an important Catholic population of Irish, Italian and Polish origin, has a relatively recent but intense Marian devotion. The Virgin Helper, patron of Australia, is venerated at the Salesian Shrine in Brunswick (Melbourne). The Sanctuary of the Virgin of the South Cross in southern Australia is the most important Marian pilgrimage center in the country.

St. Mary of Sydney (St Mary's Cathedral) is the most important Marian cathedral in Australia. The Marian Valley Sanctuary, near Brisbane, is a centre of Marian spirituality run by the Pauline parents. The devotion to the Virgin Mary in Australia reflects the cultural diversity of the Australian Catholic population.
