This series contains annals from 1971 to 2002 of the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Pembroke’s mission work in the Our Lady of Sorrows Parish in Petawawa, Ontario. The records document the work of pastoral care undertaken by the Sisters in the Our Lady of Sorrows Church, managing the altar boys and giving singing lessons, as well as teaching students at Our Lady of Sorrows School. Topics include, but are not limited to, household maintenance, celebrations, visits, health concerns, and day-to-day activities at St. Joseph’s Convent in Petawawa. There is one colour photograph of the founding Sisters of the mission at Petawawa: Sister Evelyn Shirley, Sister Edna Gauthier, and Sister Florence Ritza. There is also a short history on St. Joseph’s Convent in Petawawa from 1899 to 1972 with printed pictures of the convent, church, rectory, school, Sisters, and music pupils.

General note
The town of Petawawa is in Ottawa Valley, 16 kilometers north of Pembroke and situated on the unceded traditional territory of the Algonquins, Pikwàkanagàn First Nation, covered by the Robinson-Huron Treaty 61 of 1850, and the Williams Treaty of 1923. In 1942, the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Pembroke, Ontario, were requested by Reverend T. P. Holly to administer to the educational needs of the parish school, Our Lady of Sorrows School, in Petawawa, Ontario. The Sisters agreed and commuted from Pembroke to Our Lady of Sorrows School to teach until St. Joseph’s Convent, a new residence with a chapel, was built in Petawawa in 1962. The Sisters initially taught 78 students from Grades 1 to 9, and several decades later, there were 392 students from kindergarten to Grade 8. By 1971, the school was administered by the Renfrew County Roman Catholic School Board and continues to function under their management.
