Symbolism of the College Logo

"Doves in Flight"

The doves in flight portray the concept of growth and movement through education.   The doves represented in formation relate to the community striving together.   The line acts as an horizon and indicates direction and purpose.  

The circle acts as the common ground for all the elements, interactive, supportive and indicative of the workings of a Catholic school.
