This series contains records related to the Sisters' ministry in Sandwich, which amalgamated into the City of Windsor in 1935. After the Sisters of St. Joseph established their Motherhouse in Toronto in 1854, Bishop De Charbonnel intended for a second ministry would be established in Sandwich, a community of what is now Windsor, Ontario. However, the Ladies of the Sacred Heart established a community in Sandwich, so the Sisters of St. Joseph went to Amherstburg instead. On December 11, 1868, five Sisters of St. Joseph of Toronto arrived in London, Ontario. This would become its own congregation in 1891. In 1884, Father O’ Connor asked the Sisters of St. Joseph of London to assume the domestic responsibilities of Assumption College in Sandwich, Ontario, which they did for 20 years. Windsor is located on the traditional territory of the Three Fires Confederacy of First Nations, which is an alliance between the Ojibwa, the Odawa, and the Potawatomi.
The records present were filed as annals, but do not actually contain annals. Instead, there is a historical summary and a walking tour of historical sites in Sandwich created by the Windsor Heritage Committee.
