Scope and content
Established in May 1969 and led by Fr. John Walsh, the Department of Communication and Education (DCE) served as a means to connect members of the Society and assist with personnel education. It assumed the functions of the Director of Internal Communications, itself created in 1962.
The Communication branch of the DCE strived to unify the Scarboro community by keeping priests apprised of Society news via the distribution of newsletters and bulletins to all members. They also worked to ensure ease of communication among missions and collected reference materials to serve as a resource centre. The Education branch promoted the continual education of personnel, even offering courses for Society members.
In 1972, the DCE was split into two departments: the Department of Communication, headed by Fr. Wallace Chisholm, and the Department of Education (later the Formation-Education Department), led by Fr. Clair Yaeck.
The Department of Communication lacks a formal closure date, but appears to have ceased operations in the 1980s.
Files include: correspondence, reports, policies, and newsletters from the department.
