Symbolism

Crest

The fish is an allusion to the Ichtus, a symbol of Christ. The monstrance, a liturgical object in the shape of a sun, represents the light brought about by religion and the idea of Christ as protector whose glory lights up the world. The fleurs-de-lis and shamrocks again refer to the Quebec and Irish roots of Fr. Campbell.
