Official Seal
At the center is a burning flame on an earthen vessel with a cross lifted up on high. This burning flame symbolizes the all – consuming love of God as the center of everything we do. The earthen vessel represents the least of our brethren as the main reason for the school’s existence while the cross is a symbol that the institution carries with it the teachings of the Catholic Church.
The book on the left side stands for the Word of God as seen and observed in its educational services while the praying hands on the right side represents the individuals who are not only skilled and productive, but gospel and value-oriented citizens as well.
All these are enveloped in two circles that signify the vision of the institution which is to build a community where there is fullness of life.

Famous quotes containing the words official and/or seal:
“I thought it altogether proper that I should take a brief furlough from official duties at Washington to mingle with you here to-day as a comrade, because every President of the United States must realize that the strength of the Government, its defence in war, the army that is to muster under its banner when our Nation is assailed, is to be found here in the masses of our people.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
“To believe in something not yet proved and to underwrite it with our lives: it is the only way we can leave the future open. Man, surrounded by facts, permitting himself no surmise, no intuitive flash, no great hypothesis, no risk, is in a locked cell. Ignorance cannot seal the mind and imagination more surely.”
—Lillian Smith (1897–1966)
