Symbolism
Arms
Green and white, which represent respectively hope and purity, also refer to Fr. Campbell’s Irish and Quebec roots. The two overlapping triangle shapes are emblematic of the harmonious cultural blend that characterizes his family. The reversed triangle also symbolizes the Holy Trinity and Fr. Campbell’s adherence to the Catholic Church, to which he has dedicated his life. The chevron alludes to the frame of a church, especially with its apex crowned with a cross. The blue of the cross is the colour of the Blessed Virgin Mary. For Fr. Campbell, the position of the cross also recalls Montreal and the monument atop Mount Royal.
Motto
This Latin phrase, meaning “Be strong in the Lord”, is taken from Ephesians 6:10.
