March 1959: Superior General Visits Canada

As his extensive tour (November 1958 to March 1959) of Latin America reached its latter stages, Brother Nicet Joseph (Superior General) made six visits in Canada. One of these was at Cardinal Newman HS in Montreal, which was one of the English-speaking schools in that city conducted by the Christian Brothers of the Toronto District. Brother Joseph and his entourage stood at the high table (nearest curtain), while all of the seated Brothers were teaching in Montreal and vicinity. The Toronto District Archives has a larger framed version of this historic photograph, which was published in the Institute Bulletin in October 1959.
