Symbolism
Arms
The red cross on white is the symbol of St. George. It has been made unique to the parish by the addition of the blue background and the white trillium flowers. The use of the blue makes an allusion to the Royal Union Flag and therefore to the pre-Confederation origins of the parish. The trillium appears in the arms of the Diocese of Niagara, and it can also serve as a Trinitarian symbol.
Motto
The phrase is taken from 2 Peter 3:18.
