— Bishop Armand-François-Marie de Charbonnel of Toronto appoints Father John Holzer, S.J., to be Pastor in Guelph. The parish was to be under the care of the Jesuit Order for about 80 years, until 1931.

 — Father John Holzer, S.J. founded St. Joseph´s Hospital, to be operated by the St. Joseph Sisters of the Hamilton Diocese.

In 2001 St. Joseph´s Hospital and Home changed its name to St. Joseph´s Health Centre Guelph.

In 2004, the original buildings dating back to 1895 were demolished to make way for the construction of a senior´s health centre.

 — Father John Holzer´s successor Father P. Hamel, S.J. began plans for the Church of Our Lady. Construction began in 1877 under Irish-Canadian architect Joseph Connolly who had designed many churches in Ireland, England and Ontario. Erecting the twin towers, the final phase of construction, was completed Nov. 13, 1926.

A prominent Ontario architect, Joseph Connolly (1840-1904) was born in Ireland and received his professional training under J. J. McCarthy, a leading nineteenth century Catholic church architect. By the early 1860s Connolly had settled at Toronto where he soon established a special practice designing buildings for the burgeoning Roman Catholic community across Ontario.

 — Our property is purchased by a group of English Canadian Jesuits to establish St. Stanislaus Novitiate; a house of prayer and a place of peace for Anglophone novitiates. Their vision was challenged in 1918 when the Novitiate endured a military raid.

 — The first phase in expansion plans for the novitiate included the construction of a Chapel wing in 1921.

 — St. Stanislaus Novitiate expands with the opening of a new wing. Now home to the JCEAF offices, this building currently operates as “Orchard Park West” —  part of the Orchard Park Business Centre.

 — Novitiate adds secondary wing to original “neo–classic” federal style building. Now designated as “Orchard Park North, the building houses the offices of the Canadian Mental Health Association.”

 — Fire destroys the original building at St. Stanislaus Novitiate. See building depicted in 1921 photo above.

 — Incorporation of St. Stanislaus Novitiate; the name is changed to “Ignatius College”.

 — What was to be the final phase in the development of the College was completed (highlighted).

 — Loyola Retreat House relocates from Oakville to the Ignatius Jesuit Centre and is renamed “The Guelph Centre of Spirituality”. The internationally acclaimed retreat and conference centre is now known as Loyola House Retreat and Training Centre.

Over 60,000 retreatants from across the globe have renewed a dialogue with God at Loyola House Retreat and Training centre.

 — Closing of program in classical studies at Ignatius College, Jesuit students attend University of Guelph. Further transfers occur in 1973 when Jesuit students relocate to St. Michael's Institute, Gonzaga University, Spokane, Washington.

 — Founding of the “Red House” apostolate at the Ignatius Jesuit Centre. The Red House endures as home to many of the regions remaining Jesuits.

 — The “Red House” becomes known as the Ignatius Farm Community; key to developing the Ignatius Jesuit Centre agricultural lands. In 2003, the Farm Project evolved into the Ecology Project whose work addresses the relationship between Christian faith and ecological spirituality.

 — The Ignatius College is closed and is successfully converted to the Orchard Park Office Centre by building manager, Mike Schweier.

 — After a period of transition, the Ignatius Jesuit Centre completes a restructuring focusing on the development and mission of its Ecology and Spiritual Ministries.
