Some of the memorabilia is religious. There is her prayer book Formulary of Prayers, which was published by Mount St. Joseph in 1953, and a papal blessing granting a plenary indulgence. The rest of the memorabilia is more secular. In 1976, Sister Margaret Ferris was invited to attend a reception at the Lieutenant Governor’s Suite at Queen’s Park following the Opening of the Ontario Legislature. Present here is her invitation to the reception and a pamphlet for the third session of the thirtieth parliament of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario.

The yearbook has signatures on page 14 and the inside of the front cover has 18 portrait photographs pasted on it. She was also a faculty member at St. Peter’s Seminary in London, Ontario. There is a scrapbook from her retirement celebration and a pamphlet detailing the history of the seminary from 1912-2012.
