The White Crown

This crown is a symbol of purity or integrity. It is a reminder of our unique dignity as a person created in the image and likeness of God, and our call to a loving relationship with God and each other.

The Red Crown

This crown is a symbol of martyrdom; the symbol of one who is prepared to pay the price of living according to one's convictions, of one who is willing to 'more' in living out one's deepest integrity for the greater glory of God and service of humanity.

The Vertical Bars

The vertical bars are reminders of the prison of Auschwitz where St. Maximilian Kolbe died. They are reminders of the horrors of that time and a challenge to us to become people who are aware, concerned and willing to do something about the horrors of our own time - hunger, poverty, homelessness, damage to the environment...

The Cross

The Cross is a symbol of Jesus, the Christ. It is a powerful reminder of the extent of God's loving action and presence in our lives, a symbol of our faith as followers of Jesus as Christians.
