Irene McCormack grew up as a fairly typical West Australian country girl. Born on the 21st of August she was raised on a farm at Trayning near New Norcia and very early on emerged as a vibrant, determined and fun-loving girl. She was sent to boarding school at Santa Maria College and it soon became evident that she had two great loves - to serve God and to educate young people. After joining the Sisters of St. Joseph she spent many years teaching in schools in country areas.
She constantly challenged the Bishops to act more justly in providing resources for country children - for her it was an issue of justice. In the mid's, Irene experienced a real dilemma with her vocation.
She continually proclaimed about mission in the Church - to be an active part of the Global church - and felt she had to volunteer to work with the most needy in order to be true to herself.
Irene arrived in Peru in and was appointed to the Huasahuasi District in She took up the challenge of ministering to the impoverished. Nella sua giovinezza si diceva che fosse vivace, determinata, amante del divertimento; e un appassionato tifoso di calcio australiano.
A 15 anni voleva essere una religiosa. McCormack fu insegnante nell'Australia occidentale per i successivi 30 anni. Era una donna minuta e un'insegnante e preside popolare, ma anche conosciuta come esuberante ed esigente. Era una giocatrice di golf e di tennis affermata. McCormack ha continuato il suo ministero di fornire ai bambini poveri le strutture della biblioteca per aiutare i loro compiti scolastici, che altrimenti non avrebbero avuto.
Ha anche formato ministri straordinari della Santa Comunione e parrocchiani in visita nei distretti periferici. Huasahuasi rimase per 12 mesi senza un prete residente. Anche i membri della band Guerrilla sono andati al convento, dove McCormack era solo mentre Stevenson ha ricevuto cure mediche a Lima.
