The Canadian Province celebrates its 85th anniversary on February 14, 2012. However, our roots in Canada go back to 1871 when Mother Caroline was invited by Father Funcken CR to send sisters from Milwaukee to oversee the orphanage and school in St. Agatha, Ontario. The province was established in 1927 to more effectively administer the mission and ministry of the sisters in Canada and England. Today the sisters look to becoming fully integrated with the Atlantic-Midwest Province by the summer of 2012, again for the sake of effective administration of SSND mission and ministries.
