Our
seal has a triple significance. The crossed arms of Christ and St. Francis
surmounted by the cross are taken from the coat of arms of St. Francis. The open book and glowing lamp are symbols of knowledge, while the five-petalled
rose is a tribute to His Excellency Archbishop Michael J. Curley.
In
the center of the shield is engraved the motto, Lux Tua Luceat, an excerpt from St.
Matthew 5:16 - "So let your light shine before all that they may see your
good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven."
