This series contains annals from 1971 to 1988 of the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Pembroke’s mission in Deep River, Ontario and their activities at St. Mary’s Convent (later St. Mary’s Renewal Centre) and St. Mary’s School. The topics include, but are not limited to ministry and educational programs, celebrations, poustinia days, youth retreats, outdoor seasonal events, day-to-day activities, and correspondences. The records include Advisory Committee meeting minutes, Finance Committee meeting minutes, printed activity programs of St. Mary’s Renewal Centre, news clippings, and one colour photograph of a study group in 1987. There is also a short history on the origins and founding of St. Mary’s Convent at Deep River from 1944 to 1966, with printed pictures of St. Mary’s church, chapel, Sisters, and students.

It includes messages from Sisters, announcements for events pertinent to the community, and news about community work and engagements as well as about travel and international work. It also contains entries about Indigenous relations and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. A few of the newsletters discuss the Occupy Movement, a series of protests on income disparity.
