School Emblem

 

 

 

We all have spent quite some years at our Alma Mater, yet have we ever taken a close look at our school emblem?  What does the design mean?

Click on the different parts of the emblem to  see what the various elements stand for.

 

The Crown & The Shining Star

The Crown on top and the Shining Star in the middle symbolize the Immaculate Virgin Mary.

 

The Scrolling Shield

The shape of the shield stands for One Heart.

 

The 3 Stars

The 3 Stars on the stripe represent three saints - St. Agnes, St. Beatrice and St. Cecilia.

 

The Grain

The Grain stands for the Host in Holy Communion.

 

The Bottom Ribbon

It symbolizes our United Hearts, and One Way to Heaven.  The Latin phrase "Cor Una et Via Una" translates as "One Heart and One Way", the school motto for generations of St. Marians.
