This subseries contains records relating to the Medaille Retreat House. The Medaille Retreat House served as a community retreat centre which hosted spiritual and hospitality programs from 1969 to 2005. The original Medaille Retreat House was in the former Norwood House on Windermere Road, part of the Mount St. Joseph Motherhouse property. In 2005, the Medaille Retreat House was demolished, and a new residence for the Sisters was built on the site. Programs resumed at the Medaille Program Centre at 545 Fanshawe Park Road West until 2012. An advisory committee was created as a consultative group which assisted in maintaining the history and culture of the original Medaille House, aided in program planning and development, and helped in communications, marketing, and networking of the Medaille House and Program Centre. A planning committee consisting of the Congregational Leadership Circle and other members of the congregation aided in the logistics of the transition, construction, repairs, and furnishings for the new property. The retreat centre offered private and directed retreats with facilities for group meetings and overnight stays. The Medaille Retreat House closed in 2012, but this ministry continued afterward through the CSJ Spirituality Centre.
Records included in this subseries pertain to the spirituality and hospitality programs offered, the advisory committee for the retreat house, the planning committee for the transition to the new centre, staff recruiting and hiring information, agendas for programs, funding information, retreat schedules, and correspondence relating to construction and the transition to the new Medaille Retreat House location. There is a complete schedule for the 2006 January-June retreats, job descriptions for the director for the Medaille Retreat House and support staff, a plan for a potential organizational structure, correspondence between the Medaille Retreat House and the City of London regarding construction at the new location in 2005, memoranda and meeting minutes of the advisory and planning committees, pamphlets, and a speech on the transition to 545 Fanshawe Park Road West, a pamphlet promoting the Medaille Retreat House Program, and a postcard with an image of the Medaille Retreat House in 2003.
