Montreal, Drummond Street Sisters of Service Église catholique. Archidiocèse de Montréal At the request of Archbishop Gauthier, the Sisters in 1926 assumed the management of Catholic Women’s League (CWL) Hostel. Known as Loretta House, the three-story residence at 450 Rue de la Gauchetière Ouest was located on the eastern downtown area of Montréal. Close to the harbour, the house became a refuge for immigrants. After the Sisters met the trains, men, women and children were brought back to the hostel for a short-term stay. Upon the archbishop’s request, the Sisters also visited the Detention Centre, where the immigrants were detained. When the hostel work outgrew its location, a larger house was opened in April 1928 on Drummond Street, close to Mount Royal and McGill University. All the subdivisions of the Montréal CWL contributed to the furnishing of the house. In addition to the Immigration work, the hostel accommodated families temporarily until they were released from immigration regulations. The mission was closed in November 1934. Subseris consists of correspondence, reports, financial records, community annals, immigration reports, and a scrapbook related to the Drummon St. mission. https://discoverarchives.library.utoronto.ca/montreal-drummond-street 41
