.2 cm of textual records

This subseries contains advertisements and news clippings regarding the Canadian western missions in Alberta by the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph of London, Ontario. There are promotional materials, pamphlets, and news clippings from September 28 to October 3, 2011, that pay homage to the pastoral, health care, education, and social work of the Sisters. The subseries primarily concerns Service Through Christ, a statue that was part of the Catholic Sisters’ Legacy Recognition Project. The statue is located on the grounds of the Alberta Legislature building in Edmonton. The statue is a tribute that recognizes the Catholic Sisters of 74 congregations, including the Sisters of St. Joseph, in the caring of the sick, poor and disadvantaged in the cities, towns, and rural areas in Alberta. There is a printed letter, signed by six Bishops representing the Catholic Bishops of Alberta and the Northwest Territories, dated September 28, 2011. The main topic of the letter is an announcement of an event for the unveiling of the statue. Also included are two printed event programs advertising the Catholic Sisters’ Legacy Recognition Project, one is for a Dedication Ceremony, and the other is for a Celebration Mass as part of the unveiling ceremonies.
