The 1960 newsletter was a “trial run” of a community effort to provide news to the Sisters throughout the diocese. The newsletter successfully wove together important topics and issues for the Sisters, and was subsequently printed every two months. Healthcare, missions, ministries and important Motherhouse events, such as jubilees, are discussed in each issue. A list of new postulants is provided periodically. Community building projects, such as the Hamilton and Kitchener hospital expansions are documented.

The Bell Tower is a monthly newsletter by the Sisters of St. Joseph and the Hamilton Diocese that offers Chapter information, Sister profiles, and information about important anniversaries.

This series consists of newsletters produced by the Sisters of St. Joseph in the Hamilton diocese. These newsletters cover various topics and events, such as healthcare and pilgrimages, discussions about daily life including feast days and projects, messages from Sisters, as well as news about the surrounding geographical locale. A list of deceased Sisters and family members, information about ministries, memorial biographical sketches, and Chapter information are also topics included in the newsletters. These newsletters are important sources for gaining a better understanding of the Sisters’ daily lives and learning more about their charitable works and efforts. Sisters were very actively engaged in charitable work, with several projects occurring, such as hospital work, orphan care, and missions aiding Canadian Indigenous communities, as well as helping the poor in developing countries. Locations of Sisters’ missions and ministries include, but are not limited to, Fort St. James, Neyaashiinigmiing [Cape Croker], Kenilworth, Guelph, Jamaica, Kitchener, Hamilton, Guatemala, and Fort St. John.
