Gerald

Emmett Carter CC (1912–2003) was a Canadian prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He

served as Archbishop

of Toronto from 1978 to 1990, and was elevated to the cardinalate in 1979. The

youngest of eight children, Emmett Carter was born on March 1, 1912, in Montreal, Quebec, to an Irish Catholic family. His father was a typesetter for The Montreal Star, his brother, Alexander, would become Bishop of Sault-Sainte-Marie, and two of his sisters would

become nuns. Carter attended the Collège de Montréal before

studying at the Grand Seminary and the Université de Montréal,

where he obtained his Licentiate in Theology in

1936. He was ordained to Bishop of Montreal Alphonse-Emmanuel Deschamps on May 22, 1937. He was Bishop of

London, Ontario from 1964 to 1978, when he was appointed Archbishop

of Toronto. He retired in 1990 and was succeeded by Aloysius Ambrozic. In 1976, he received an honorary doctorate

from Concordia University.[2] In 1982 he was made a Companion of the Order of Canada.[3] The library at King's University College at the University of Western

Ontario in London is named after him, as are Cardinal

Carter Catholic High School in Aurora, Ontario, Cardinal

Carter Academy for the Arts in Toronto, Ontario and Cardinal Carter Catholic Secondary

School in Leamington, Ontario. An

important figure in Montreal’s education system, founding St. Joseph’s Teachers

College for English-speaking Catholics, Cardinal Carter was a member of the

Montreal Catholic School Commission for 15 years, and active at McGill

University’s Newman Club and the St. Thomas More Institute.
