Scope and content
This subseries consists of election and voting information concerning the congregation’s future. Due to concerns for the Sisters’ increasing age and diminishing numbers, the congregation sought options to ensure their continuation by joining with other communities. The entire congregation voted on these decisions, usually as part of Assemblies or Chapters. As part of the Oneness Project in 2009, Sisters voted to either amalgamate with all the communities in Federation of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Canada or to remain as an independent congregation. At the Special Chapter on November 25, 2011, the congregation was again faced with the decision to remain an independent congregation or to amalgamate with the Hamilton, Peterborough, and Pembroke congregations. This vote is referred to as a canonical vote. The congregation voted in favor of amalgamation and each Sister had to sign a declaration of intent accepting the choice.
This subseries contains material relating to both these voting events, including correspondence from the Congregational Leader Sister Margo Ritchie in preparation for the canonical vote on November 25, 2011, lists of the Sisters participating in the votes, binding and non-binding ballots, and declarations of intent accepting the amalgamation.
