The Greek letters, ρ and χ on the sail of the barque are the first letters of the Latin, Christus Resurexit - Christ is risen. The motto "To Truth Through Love" is used by all Franciscan Missionaries of Mary schools to highlight the schools' approach to educating the whole person.

Famous quotes containing the words crest and/or motto:
“What shall he have that killed the deer?
His leather skin and horns to wear.
Then sing him home.
Take thou no scorn to wear the horn,
It was a crest ere thou wast born;
Thy father’s father wore it,
And thy father bore it.
The horn, the horn, the lusty horn
Is not a thing to laugh to scorn.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Ex oriente lux may still be the motto of scholars, for the Western world has not yet derived from the East all the light which it is destined to receive thence.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
