This file contains the pages of a scrapbook by Sister Leona Colterman of Sisters of St. Joseph of Pembroke, Ontario, Canada about her ministry with the Tekakwitha Wickiup and the Saskatchewan Interfaith Pastoral Care Association in Regina, Saskatchewan as well as Groves Park Lodge, Renfrew, Ontario. The Tekakwitha Wickiup, founded in 1976, was a centre which provided counseling, community space, prayer, and information for accessing social services to those in need, particularly among the First Nations community. It encourages self-help and self-sufficiency with a focus on assisting with access to housing and employment. Sister Leona Colterman and Brother Henri Bisson directed the centre. There is correspondence, news clippings, reports, pamphlets, and booklets about the centre. There are also some photographs of community events. Groves Park Lodge is a long-term centre and Sister Leona was also the president of the Groves Park Lodge Auxiliary. There are news clipping and photographs about her activities there as well as meeting minutes.
