Part of Guatemala Annals series

This sub-series is made up of records which detail administrative functions carried out by the Sisters during and after their time in Guatemala. There are class lists of students who attended the Colegio San José. A report outlining various educational programs and ideas it is included, which discusses catechetics, adult education, the Christian Children’s Fund and the Guatemala Education Bursary. Another report discusses the different methods that can be used to evangelize the Guatemalan community. There is also an orientation program for a conference attended by those working in Latin America. This conference aimed at exploring the roles that North Americans played in Latin America, as well as their motivations for service. A letter and pamphlet from the Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace (CCODP) outlines the hardships of the Guatemalan people and the steps the organization has taken to assist and support local groups fighting for social justice, such as the National Coordinating Committee of Widows of Guatemala. The letter also briefly outlines the history of the Sisters’ mission. A research paper, which resulted from the 1972 General Chapter meeting, discusses the question of uneducated girls being accepted as associates in Guatemala, and whether these girls should be trained at the expense of the community. It also discusses the question of postulants being sent to Canada to the novitiate. A floor plan of Colegio San José’s buildings and grounds also comprises this sub-series.
