Symbolism
Badge
As the attribute of St. James the Greater, the scallop shell traditionally marks the achievement of a pilgrimage. Here, it commemorates Fr. Campbell’s journey in religion, his missions in Peru and Venezuela, as well as his accomplishments as a parish priest in several Montreal- and Toronto-area parishes. The ermine spots arranged in the Christian symbol of a cross evoke the idea of purity and Fr. Campbell’s nobility of intent.
