Provincial Superior records

The series consists of records generated by the activities of the Provincial Superior, including: correspondence, circular newsletters, reports, Provincial Council and Provincial Chapter records, policy documents, correspondence with the General Council and staff of the congregation, and photograph albums. In particular, these records arise from her responsibility of convening the Provincial Council, reviewing the work of the sisters, maintaining daily correspondence, addressing the needs of individual sisters, convening the Provincial Chapter, visiting the local houses of the province and reporting to the General Superior.

According to the Constitution and Rules of the Sisters of Saint Anne, the Provincial Superior is invested with personal authority and has the responsibility of administering the province so as to help the local communities and local Superior in their office. She is appointed to the position by the General Superior in consultation with the sisters for a term of three years, renewable to six years. The Provincial Superior is accountable to the General Superior for the fidelity of the province to the Constitutions and Rules, to the capitular decrees, and the directives of the General Superior. The provincial administration has always been based out of Victoria, and relations with the Diocese of Victoria and other capital region entities are usually well represented.

In 2004 and in 2017, Co-leadership roles were established: Sisters Ann Thomson and Patricia Donovan served as co-leaders from 2004-2007 and in 2017 a triumvirate was elected: Sisters Marie Zarowny, Judi Morin and Joyce Harris. In June 2019, St. Joseph’s Province was suspended and a new Local Community was founded.
