The Seal
The school seal consists of a branch of laurel leaves and the lighted lamp. The laurel leaves symbolize the distinction of one whose achievements, through intellectual pursuits, are for God’s greater honor and glory and service of mankind. The lighted lamp stands for the Christian’s missionary role to light the world with the light of Christ. “You are the light of the world… your light must shine in the sight of men, so that, seeing your good works, they may give praise to your Father in heaven.” (Mt. 5:14, 16)
Motto
The school motto is “Caritas Christi Urget Nos” – THE CHARITY OF CHRIST URGES US (2 Cor. 5:14). After the example of St. Paul, spurred on by the love of Christ, countless Sisters of St. Paul of Chartres, full of zeal and fervor, cross vast waters to establish St. Paul schools and pastoral health service institutions all over the world. Let every Paulinian aspire to live this charity of Christ.
Colors
The colors are green and gold. Green is for the hope that all creation retains the hope of being freed from slavery, the hope to enjoy the freedom and glory of the children of God (Rom. 8:21-22). Gold is for the glory that God has promised to His children and heirs “and we are children, we are heirs as well; heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, sharing His sufferings so as to share His glory.” (Rom. 8:17)
