The priest of St-Vincent asked the Sisters of the Assumption to come to the new parish to provide education. The Sisters arrived at the new parish in Mallaig on September 5, 1941, on the same day of arrival of the new priest. For the first year, the Sisters had 34 students. During holidays, they dispersed for the teaching of catechism to the children attending the other rural schools of the area. The number of students increased in the 1950s and 1960s. The principalship of the school was given to a layman in 1968. In the 1970s new duties were added to the Sisters' teaching duties: the Sisters became pastoral agents, adult catechism teachers, liturgical animators and choir singers. The Sisters left Mallaig in 1979. | | SCOPE AND CONTENT: | The series includes the school and convent records.
