<p>[QUOTE="Vintage Maven, post: 1489150, member: 11768"]In reading some of the early history of my order of Sisters, that I was very kindly provided with, without giving away too much.....They arrived in Canada in 1902, at that time, many of them Ukrainian, Polish and German decent. They were here to serve the ever more demanding needs, and religious requests of the European immigrant population. The task was very daunting in the early years, as those in bigger centres were easy to facilitate, it was the more outlying communities that truly required help. These communities often isolated, and spread far apart often didn’t have churches, the time, or means to build them, as their commitment to the land bore precedence (In some cases, some churches were constructed of scrap wood and other of materials of the surrounding terrain). The Sisters commitment to serve grew more effective and began to flourish with more funding post World War One. There of course, is much more detail in the early history, but a very interesting, incredible, and inspiring legacy indeed. ❤️Maven[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
