This series contains a history of the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph of London, Ontario’s Holy Family Retreat House mission in Oxley, part of the urban community of Harrow within the town of Essex, Ontario. The Holy Family Retreat House served as a spiritual center for individuals or groups and provided overnight accommodation and kitchen service. The Sisters lived on site and took professional care of the sprawling property located on the shores of Oxley Beach from 1950 to 1959. This series contains a song sheet of hymns, and an invitation announcement to a book launch honouring former directors, staff, and supporters of the Holy Family Retreat House. In addition, there are photographs of the exterior back patio and the chapel inside the Holy Family Retreat House, which features a hanging wall relief carved in wood by John Rylko.
