This series contains volumes 1-50 of the newsletter “Bridging” spanning from 1991-2016 and produced by the Congregation’s Associate Core Team (ACT) members. Two volumes were published each year, usually in the winter and summer, but sometimes in the fall and spring. This newsletter was intended to inform people about the Associate relationship in the Congregation and to keep the Associates up to date with news about events. Each newsletter has its own theme, such as, service, relationship with the Divine, and longing for belonging. Common sections throughout the newsletters are poems, “mark your calendar” sections, suggestions for readings, news about events, fundraisers, and retreats, introduction of new members, and updates from various Associate communities. These communities include Maidstone, St. Thomas, Windsor, Chatham, Kingsville, Woodstock, Simcoe, London, Grand Bend, and Sarnia. Also included is a coloured drawing of a bridge that is crossing a small creek with trees and other flora surrounding it that was made for the newsletter.
The newsletters provide a detailed summary of Sisters Nancy Sullivan, Katrina Rooney, and Ann Marshall’s charity work in Annotto Bay, Jamaica. Several of their projects are discussed, including providing sewing machines to single mothers, providing poor families with bus money, conducting healthcare education, sponsoring children to go to school, and building extensions on family homes. The Sisters’ work at the All Age School is discussed in detail, as well as their work in the Annotto Bay Hospital and Infirmary. One notable newsletter from April 27, 1995 provides a schedule of “A Day in The Life of The Sisters of St. Joseph, Annotto Bay, Jamaica.” This schedule offers a detailed look into a typical day of work the Sisters experienced while on their mission. These newsletters also offer nuanced information about what life was like in Jamaica. Many images are included in the later issues of the newsletters, providing further detail into Jamaican life, people, and culture.
