Scope and content

This series contains records of Sister Margaret Ferris’s education. This includes diplomas, certificates, transcripts, and report cards. There are also commencement programs, invitations to graduation celebrations, correspondence, and photographs of graduation ceremonies and celebrations.

In her youth, Sister Margaret Ferris studied at the Western Ontario Conservatory of Music, St. Angela’s College (a primary and secondary school in London, Ontario), and Catholic Central High School. In this series are Sister Margaret’s certificates, transcripts, and diplomas from these institutions. From her time at Catholic Central High School, there are also graduation photographs of Sister Margaret, group photographs of the graduating class of 1951, and pages from “Who’s Who of Catholic Central High School,” which features staff and students.

Sister Margaret Ferris went on to attain her Bachelor of Arts and Master of Education from the University of Western Ontario, her Master of Science from the University of Notre Dame, her Master of Arts in Culture and Spirituality from Holy Names College, and a Doctor of Ministry in Spiritual Direction from the Graduate Theological Foundation. Diplomas, transcripts, convocation pamphlets, and invitations from these degrees are present here. She spent the summers of 1959 and 1962 at Laval University working towards a Master of French but did not complete the degree though some material present references her time there. The graduation gown, hood, and cap that Sister Margaret wore at the commencement ceremony for her doctorate are present. There is also a scrapbook with ephemera and photographs from this ceremony.

In 2007, the Graduate Theological Foundation presented Sister Margaret with an honorary Doctor of Divinity and the diploma is present here. There is correspondence concerning the honorary degree, Graduate Theological Foundation alumni reunions and events, and Sister Margaret’s graduate studies. This includes correspondence with the University of Western Ontario and Laval University (some in French) about her registration, transcripts, and a scholarship she won.

Also included in this series is Sister Margaret Ferris’s teacher identification card, a certificate stating that she had been to Yellowknife and met Raymond the Raven, the 2004 article “Ormond beach artist’s work rises like a phoenix” concerning Carol Bertrand by Jay Stapleton, and correspondence about Sister Margaret’s appointment to teach Guidance Part I in St. Thomas from the University of Western Ontario.
