Scope and content
The Sisters’ ministries include but are not limited to care of orphans and elderly, education, healthcare, retreat centers, marriage tribunals, parish and pastoral work, and works of mercy. Works of mercy are acts of penance and charity and includes the Sisters ministry to low-income neighborhoods, a soup kitchen, a foster home for the severely disabled, a refugee house, residences for women in need, St. Stephen’s House (an alcohol recovery home for men), the L.I.F.T. Interfaith Team Housing Project, youth ministry to young offenders, Crossroads Home for Rehabilitation of Street Women, and ministry to Indigenous communities. The administration of the motherhouses is also considered a ministry. Major locations of the Sisters’ ministries included Ontario, Alberta, and the Northwest Territories. The ministries from 1986 to 2001 are summarized in this subseries in a timeline and lists. There is also correspondence from the Sisters of St. Joseph of the French Federation requesting statistics on the London Sisters and their ministries for the 350th anniversary of the Foundation in Le Puy.
