The Missions Series consists of the correspondence files of the missions established by the Sisters of Service in Canada and two international missions since 1922 until 2012 when the Sponsorship Agreement with the Sisters of St. Joseph of Toronto was signed.

The Institute of the Sisters of Service was founded to be a presence from the ports to the homesteads in an attempt to heighten the awareness of the large number of European immigrants of the English-speaking Canadian Roman Catholic Church. Through the apostolates of immigration, rural education, religious education, women’s residences and rural health care, the sisters assisted those in need across Canada. From 1926, and for the next four decades, the Sisters met the immigrant ships at Pier 21 in Halifax, and three other eastern ports welcoming and assisting the newly-arrived at their entry to Canada.

In the Western Canadian missions, the Sisters lived in rural communities to teach in remote public schools, and opened two small hospitals in Central Alberta. In the cities, their women's residences offered short-term accommodation for women and educational workshops in a home-like atmosphere.

Keeping the faith among Catholics, the Sisters taught catechetics on weekends and reached the largest number of children through their religious correspondence schools in Edmonton, Regina and Fargo as a means to instruct Catholic children in their religion. In the summers, all available Sisters visited small communities to teach the faith and prepare the children for the reception of First Communion and Confirmation.

The sisters did not reside in large convents, instead lived in modest accommodation similar to the people in the missions. The missions following the Second Vatican Council reflect the call for renewal to provide service as teachers, pastoral, social and health care workers in locations of the most need, in particular in northern Canada.

The series consists of correspondence, reports and annals/chronicles, which are arranged alphabetically and chronologically. The textual material also contains histories, memorabilia, newsclippings, meeting minutes, and documents pertaining to the specific ministries of each mission.

Series divided into subseries by mission location.

At the request of Bishop Gerald Murray of Saskatoon, foundress Sister Catherine Donnelly established the teaching mission for Loyola Continuation School, near the central Saskatchewan hamlet of Sinnett. Throughout the years, this mission reflected Sister Donnelly’s vision of the Sisters in Western Canada, living in an isolated settlement, sharing the joys, enduring hardships and integrating their faith with the farming community. Outside the classroom, the Sisters broadened their students’ interests through extracurricular activities of plays, concerts and sports as well as the 4-H clubs.

In September 1940, the Sisters began their teaching assignment during a heat wave of temperatures up to 40°C. For the first eight years, the Sisters lived in quarters without running water at the back of the school before the move into Sinnett. In 1948, Loyola School was relocated to a larger building moved into the village from the Royal Canadian Air Force base in nearby Dafoe. Similarly the junior school building was transported into the village and renovated as the Sisters’ residence. Gradually in the 1960s, the high school grades were transferred to Lanigan Central High School, where Sister Joan Coffey taught domestic science. In 1969, all students were transported by bus to Lanigan and the mission was closed.

Foundress Sister Catherine Donnelly and two other Sisters arrived in August 1930 to teach in the three-room Celtic Public School. Established in 1927, this community in central Alberta was settled by 50 immigrant families from Northern Ireland. For the first two years, the three Sisters lived in a small cold rented house, which was far from the school. Father George Daly received $500 from the Catholic Church Extension and raised another $1,000 to build a suitable house for the Sisters, which was close to the church and school. The local community supplied the manual labour. The mission was closed in June 1933.

At the invitation of Fr. Joseph Paquin, OMI, the Sisters opened in September 1944 a residence for out-of-town students in this Northern Alberta town. Named St. Michael’s Dormitory, it provided room and board at $10 a month for 20 students, most of whom attended high school. From 1944 until 1955, the Sisters supervised the dormitory, served the meals and prepared students for the sacraments. The students, who went home on weekends, assisted with the daily chores of the residence. By 1955, regular school bus service was available and the dormitory closed but continued to be the Sisters’ residence.

Over the 28 years of the mission, a total of 32 Sisters served in Rycroft. Six Sisters taught in the elementary school, another six Sisters in junior high and four Sisters in the senior high school. For two years, due to the overcrowding in the three-room Rycroft public school, the Sisters made available space in the dormitory for a temporary classroom until a second school was established. From 1949 until 1953, a Sister also taught in the one-room ungraded school in Silverwood, eight kilometres from Rycroft until it was amalgamated with Rycroft public school.

The contribution of the Sisters of Service at Pier 21, now a National Historic Site, is honoured in the site's national museum in Halifax, which opened on July 1, 1999. For more than four decades, Pier 21 was known as the Gateway to Canada. From October 1925 until 1969, the Sisters of Service welcomed, assisted, directed and cared for Catholic immigrants, who were part of the one million passengers who embarked from trans-Atlantic boats, ships and ocean liners at this Eastern Canadian point of entry.

In constant demand in the adjacent Immigration Building, the Sisters provided reassurance, encouragement and support to the newly-arrived as well as acted as interpreters. In addition to giving guidance about immigration procedures, the Sisters helped to locate baggage and relatives, send telegrams and buy food for the train journeys. Addresses of the Sisters' residences in six Canadian cities were distributed as well as prayer cards, small religious articles, addresses of foreign-language newspapers and ethnic organizations across Canada. The names and addresses of the immigrants were typed and sent to their future dioceses and parishes.

Over a two-month period in 1926, the Sisters met 30 boats and assisted 2,475 passengers. With the reopening of Pier 21 after the Second World War, the Sisters returned, meeting 98 ships and assisting 23,529 passengers in 1948. Eight years later, immigration continued to escalate and the Sisters met 168 ships carrying 40,596 passengers, more than half of whom were Catholic. During the 44 years at Pier 21, a total of 13 Sisters served with three Sisters concurrently at the port during the peak periods. On the front lines were the Sisters who spoke European languages, particularly Sisters Mary Szostak (1929-1934); Josephine Dulaska (1934-1942,1947-1962); Florence Kelly (1951-1955) and Salvatrice (Sally) Liota (1955-1969).

The Sister companion/housekeeper looked after the house, the altar, choir in the church, supervised the Ladies’ Club and taught music and home economics in the school.
