Part of Policy series

This subseries encompasses the congregation’s development of policy in the late 1960s. It includes original position papers, which were distributed by the central commissions to all Sisters and to the Chapter delegates. Preceding the position papers is correspondence from Mother Julia Moore, the Superior General, encouraging the Sisters to share their thoughts on the material. The position papers detail the policies and responsibilities of the Sisters, with suggestions and recommendations regarding community life, government and organization, formation, apostolic work, and the Edmonton region. The position papers include topics from the following central commissions: spiritual life commission; the observance of vows; interpersonal relationship commission; commission of recreation and use of leisure; habit commission (for special general Chapter); commission about aging Sisters within the community; commission of government and governance; the formation commission; a report on a questionnaire on formation; the commission on education; the homemakers commission; missions; the commission on hospitals; the commission of aged and infirm and orphans; and new and possible apostolates.

The subseries also contains information prepared by Mother Julia Moore, regarding the development of the travel committee and its travel policy. The travel policy provides clarification on questions raised by the travel committee, such as policies and procedures around home visits, companions, short trips, and trips outside of the province.
