This series contains the history of the Delhi Mission in Southwestern Ontario by the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph of London, Ontario. In 1936, Father John Uyen started an educational program in Delhi, Ontario to provide catechism classes referred to as Catechetical Summer Vacation School (also known as Catechetical School, Summer School, or Vacation School). Father Uyen succeeded in obtaining permission to use two classrooms in a public school and arranged six classes for an enrollment of 201 students. In July 1937, Sisters St. Philip Traynor, Denise Sullivan, Clotilde Morrissey, and Claude Kelly from the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph of London, Ontario, arrived to provide catechetical instruction. Father Uyen appealed to the Reverend Mother Constance Dunn for a Separate School to be built for the Sisters to teach in. Construction began to build St. John Brebeuf School, a four-room school, as well as St. Joseph’s Convent next to St. John Brebeuf Church. There were also renovations to extend the Church with an attached rectory. The school, convent, and rectory officially opened in 1938. However, on September 3, 1938, when a new staff group comprised of Mother Gonzaga Langan and Sisters Claude Kelly, Lidwin Sparr, Pauline McGuire, and Brendan Doherty arrived at Delhi, the Convent was still incomplete but habitable. In good spirits the Sisters served as teachers and established a music school and a rhythm band. On November 6, 1938, the new school was blessed by Bishop Kidd, and the first musical recital was on June 24, 1939.

On January 18, 1953, the Sisters assisted with the formation of a Parent Teacher’s Association that was well received by the parishioners. In September 1954, a new apostolate in Waterford, Ontario opened to provide religion and choir classes. In 1957, the construction of a new four-room school, St. Frances Cabrini School, was started to accommodate the overflow of students from St. John Brebeuf School. St. Frances Cabrini School officially opened in Delhi on September 3, 1958, and Sister Mary Laura Landry was appointed principal. In 1959, there was a four-room addition to expand St. Frances Cabrini School due to increased enrollment. On July 1, 1966, the Sisters withdrew from the Parishes of La Salette and Delhi, but Sisters Maura McGuinness and Mary Louis McSherry commuted daily from Tillsonburg to continue teaching at St. John Brebeuf School and at St. Frances Cabrini School in Delhi until 1968.
