| 500 | |a The records comprising the St. Bernard Hospital Community fonds follow two custodial paths. Most of the records in the fonds were transferred to the local archives at St. Bernard Convent following preliminary appraisal work in 1978, 1980, and 1985 by Sister Loretta Gaffney, Provincial Archivist, in 1988 by Sister Gaffney and Paul Banfield, Archivist, and in 1989 by Sister Gaffney and Archivist Michele Chittenden. Sister Gaffney returned in June 1992 with Heather Gordon, Archivist, to prepare the records for shipment via United Parcel Service to Amherstview for arrangement and description. At Amherstview, the records were accepted as accession 92.40. Approximately 30 cm of the fonds, however, had been in the custody of St. Joseph Province Archives for a number of years. This material had been arranged by Paul Banfield and described by him in file list 84.10. | ||

| 520 | 2 | |a This fonds consists of the records created and received by the St. Bernard Hospital Community between 1903 and 1992. Close examination of accession 92.40 revealed that it contained the records of three different organizations, and, thus, three separate fonds: St. Bernard Hospital Community, St. Bernard Hospital, and St. Bernard's School of Nursing. The records described in file list 84.10 originated from these fonds. Consequently, all the records belonging to the Community fonds were reunited, and, since original order was impossible to reconstruct, divided into series and subseries based on documentary form. | |

| 545 | 1 | |a In 1902 Father Bernard P. Murray, the pastor of St. Bernards' Church in Chicago, approached the Archbishop of Chicago, His Eminence Joseph P. Quigley, regarding the foundation of a Catholic Hospital in the Chicago neighbourhood of Englewood. Upon obtaining permission for the venture, Father Murray contacted the Superior at Hotel Dieu Hospital in Kingston, Ontario, and requested the services of the Religious Hospitallers of St. Joseph. On 21 November 1903 seven sisters, led by Mother Anne Hopkins as Superior, arrived in Chicago to begin the new mission. The Sisters took up residence in a convent located at 64th and Harvard, from which they began the tasks of gathering supplies for the new hospital and raising money for the construction of a new hospital building. Despite a fire in 1904 which destroyed the convent, the sisters saw the completion of the hospital on 21 November 1905 and the establishment of a school of nursing in 1906. In 1920 they purchased land in what is now Palos Heights for the foundation of a novitiate. In 1924 a new convent was completed at 6320 South Yale Avenue. Until 1949 the St. Bernard Community, like the other well established houses of the congregation, remained autonomous. In October 1949 the English speaking houses of the congregation voted to unite under a Generalate with the motherhouse located in Kingston, Ontario. In 1953, the congregation's three Generalates amalgamated into a single Generalate (located in Montreal), which administered the business of three separate provinces. The St. Bernard Community belonged to the English speaking St. Joseph Province, based in Kingston. With the adoption of the Generalate and the creation of the Province came a change in records keeping. Prior to amalgamation, the Community had conducted its affairs in relative isolation; following amalgamation, the records reflect the Community's need to consult with administrations at the General and Provincial levels. | |
