Dans cette importante analyse féministe, Rosa Bruno-Jofré présente un portrait sensible et nuancé de comment un groupe de femmes -- les Soeurs Missionnaires Oblates, une congrégation bilingue d'enseignantes au Manitoba -- composait avec les structures patriarcales et les opinions, traditions et attitudes divergentes des Soeurs qui provenaient de diverses communautés canadiennes-françaises du Manitoba, du Québec, du Saskatchewan, de l'Ontario et des États-Unis. Puisant en profondeur dans des archives privées et dans l'histoire orale, Bruno-Jofré illumine la vie intérieure de la congrégation et de son travail éducatif. Elle démontre que les Soeurs jouèrent un rôle important dans la construction d'une identité canadienne-française au Manitoba et au Québec. Elle offre une fenêtre sur les relations complexes entre les Soeurs et les Pères Oblates, incluant le rôle des Soeurs en tant qu'auxiliaires dans les pensionnats.En conclusion, le livre offre une analyse des efforts de la congrégation depuis 1973 à reformuler sa vision et sa mission dans le contexte de Vatican II, ce désir de vivre en tant que communauté qui motivait les Soeurs à réexaminer leurs souvenirs et leurs interprétations du passé.

Vatican II and Beyond: The Changing Mission and Identity of Canadian Women Religious

MacDonald, Heidi

Smyth, Elizabeth M.

Women's Studies

The year 2015 marked the fiftieth anniversary of the end of the Second Vatican Council, which aimed to align the Church with the modern world. Over the last five decades, women religious have engaged with the council?s reforms with unprecedented enthusiasm, far exceeding the expectations of the Church. Addressing how Canadian women religious envisioned and lived out the changes in religious life brought on by a pluralistic and secularizing world, Vatican II and Beyond analyzes the national organization of female and male congregations, the Canadian Religious Conference, and the lives of two individual sisters: visionary congregational leader Alice Trudeau and social justice activist Mary Alban. This book focuses on the new transnational networks, feminist concepts, professionalization of religious life, and complex political landscapes that emerged during this period of drastic transition as women religious sought to reconstruct identities, redefine roles, and signify vision and mission at both the personal and collective levels. Following women religious as they encountered new meanings of faith in their congregations, the Church, and society at large, Vatican II and Beyond demonstrates that the search for a renewed vision was not just a response to secularization, but a way to be reborn as Catholic women.

Review\n"This well-written and researched institutional history presents a solid academic view of a woman religious teaching community from its nineteenth century conservative roots to its renewal since the Second Vatican Council." -- M.C. Havey ― Historical Studies in Education, Vol. 33, No. 1\n"The Sisters of Our Lady of the Missions is a landmark work that captures the complexity of the transnational and transtemporal development of an educational institution between 1898 and 2008." -- Maria Patricia Williams, ICHRE, UCL Institute of Education ― Paedagogica Historica\n"This study is a well-written account of the history of a religious congregation that deserves its recognized place in Canadian religious, education, women’s, and social history. Rosa Bruno-Jofré traces the educational ministry of the community, placing the story within the larger contexts of events taking place in Canada, the world, and the Catholic Church; and the result is a fine study of how a religious community has ministered in central and western Canada since 1898." -- Margaret McGuinness, Department of Religion and Theology, La Salle University\n"This is an excellent of the work of the Religieuses de Notre Dame des Missions (RNDM) / Our Lady of the Missions, in Canada, from 1898 until 2008. It is an outstanding contribution to the growing corpus of work on female religious around the world. All through, readers are engaged in a most engaging account of the work on the congregation. This reaches the level of fascination in the exposition on its embracement in recent years of eco-spirituality, the celebration of what it is to be a woman, and social justice." -- Professor Tom O’Donoghue, Fellow of the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia, Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, Graduate School of Education, The University of Western Australia\n"With her robust combination of theory, archival research, and oral interviews, Bruno-Jofre has made a major contribution not only to the history of women religious, but to the histories of Prairie education, Catholicism, and feminism. Her integration of the often separated areas of education, religion, immigration, and gender is a model for scholars in any of these fields." -- Heidi E. MacDonald, Dean, Faculty of Arts, University of New Brunswick\nThis book traces the journey taken by the Canadian Province of the Sisters of Our Lady of the Missions / Religieuses de Notre Dame des Missions (RNDM), from its establishment in Manitoba in 1898 to 2008, when the congregation as a whole redefined its mission and vision. Using archival research conducted in Canada, England, and Italy and incorporating oral interviews with RNDM sisters, this book explores the historical work of the sisters in schools and the part they played in the developing educational state. 
The congregation’s activities in schools, first in Manitoba and Saskatchewan and later in Ontario and Quebec, show how the sisters’ educational work related to the social characteristics of the communities they worked in (e.g., those of French Canadian settlers, British and continental European immigrants, and the Métis population). The Sisters of Our Lady of the Missions examines the impact of Vatican II in the 1960s and into the 2000s as well as the dismantling of neo-scholasticism and the process of secularization of consciousness in society at large. These emerging issues led the congregation to examine its individual and collective identity at the intersection of feminist theology, eco-spirituality, and a critique of Western cosmology.
