The school seal consists of a cross on a shield with  a star on top surrounded by the words Laudare, Benedicere and Praedicare.

 

The entire seal  is designed in sharply contrasting light and dark colors.  This denotes the basic Dominican character of arriving at the truth, discerning what is true from what is untrue, what is right from what is wrong, what is good from what is bad.

 

The cross occupies the center of the seal as Jesus Christ and His Gospel are the center of the Dominicans. The cross on a shield signifies that Jesus is the Dominican’s defense against evil. This depicts the CONTEMPLATIVE (contemplare) aspect of the Dominican character while the star suggests the active    role     of     Dominicans     in    sharing    the    fruits     of CONTEMPLATION (contemplate aliis tradere)  to illumine the word  with the TRUTH (veritas).

 

Dominicans’ modus vivendi of soaking oneself with the Spirit of God (laudare) and letting this permeate in one’s work  (benedicere) and witness (praedicare) His Words.
