Faith is our foundation.
Our motto, from St. Augustine via St. Anselm of Canterbury, is
Credo ut intelligam
– ‘I believe so that I may understand’.
Our guiding principles are on display in the elements of our crest:
The shield of faith (Eph 6:16) with, at its centre, the cross of Christ (Gal 6:14).
The hart (Ps 42:1) – the desire for God.
The book (Is 55:10-11) – the word that prospers.
The lamp (Ps 119:105) – the word that lights our way.
The quill (Mt 13:52) – scribes trained for the kingdom.
