Bereik en inhoud
Included in this subseries is the material created and collected by the General Superior Office of the congregation relating to the Federation of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Canada.
Present in this subseries are newsletters, statutes, and mission statements from the Federation of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Canada. Also found is In a Broken World We Seek Unity With A Common Voice, an educational resource for the Sisters of St. Joseph’s Corporate Stance which is the collective voice of the Federation on issues of justice. Included with the resource is material related to its creation and justification for its existence.
A large amount of material in this subseries concerns the history of the Sisters of St. Joseph, especially the London congregation and the Federation. Histories include articles, research papers, pamphlets, a summary of a presentation, and timelines (including one in French). There is a detailed description of the Immaculate Conception Chapel at Mount St. Joseph; a script for Our Little Design: A Tribute to St. Joseph, a play in which Father Medaille interviews the General Superiors (from Mother Ignatia Campbell to Sister Katherine); a photocopy of a newspaper article covering the death of Mother Aloysia, first General Superior of the Sisters of St. Joseph at St. Peter’s Seminary; correspondence and a brief report on the dissolution of the Alberta Corporation; and pamphlets for the 135th and 136th Anniversary of the London congregation. Notable inclusions with the history of the Federation are photocopies of (and one original) correspondence between the Federation, Bishop G. Emmett Carter, the Sacred Congregation of Religious, and the Vatican concerning the founding of the Federation and its statutes.
There is also material related to collaborative ventures of the Federation with other Sisters of St. Joseph Federations and congregations, particularly the St. Joseph International Centre. The Centre is a collaborative venture co-sponsored by Congregations of the Sisters of St. Joseph across the globe. It is in le-Puy-en-Velay, where the congregation was founded in 1650. The International Centre aims to encourage collaboration and communion between Sisters, Associates, and lay partners. There is also material related to pilgrimages organized by the Federation to France. This includes a travel itinerary for the 2001 pilgrimage to France. There are also pamphlets, bulletins, postcards, poems, and a speech from the 200th Anniversary of the Sisters of St. Joseph celebration in Lyon, France. Included with this material is the 1989 book Par-delà toutes Frontières by the Federation of the Sisters of St. Joseph of France. There is also the Organizational Handbook of the U.S. Federation of the Sisters of St. Joseph and an information packet on the Congregation of St. Joseph as an NGO in General Consultative Status with ECOSOC at the United Nations.
This subseries includes newsletters, bulletins, correspondence, histories, research papers, prayer and reflection booklets, statutes of the Federation, a script, speeches, and postcards.

Algemene aantekening
The Federation was formed in 1966 as a supportive association for the six congregations in Canada, while ensuring these congregations founded in Toronto, Hamilton, London, Peterborough, Pembroke, and Sault Ste. Marie maintained autonomy. The founding members of the Federation were Mother Maura McGuire of Toronto (who also became the first president of the Federation), Mother Alacoque Hayes of Hamilton, Mother Julia Moore of London, Mother St. Rose Cullen of Peterborough, Mother St. Thomas McGaghran of Pembroke, and Mother St. Edward McColgan of Sault Ste. Marie. Since the communities in Hamilton, London, Peterborough, and Pembroke amalgamated to form the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph in Canada in 2012, the Federation now comprises three congregations: the Sisters of St. Joseph of Canada, the Sisters of St. Joseph of Toronto, and the Sisters of St. Joseph of Sault Ste. Marie. All individual Sisters are considered members of the Federation. The Federation is governed by a Board consisting of each Congregation’s Leadership Team and executive, committees, offices, and personnel. Presidents of the Federation from the London congregation have included Mother Julia Moore from 1968-1969, Sister Mary Brendan Flynn from 1976-1977, Sister Katherine McKeough from 1983-1984, Sister Theresa Marie Caillouette from 1993-1994, Sister Mary Diesbourg from 1997-2001, and Sister Margo Ritchie from 2009-2010.
