Congregation of the Sacred Stigmata

of our Lord Jesus Christ

 
 

The Stigmatine Seal
 
 


 

The upper blue background for the stars
signifies the Faith toward which our members strive in order to become mirrors of sanctity.

The Five Stars, in the form of a cross,
represent the Five Wounds, or the Stigmata of Our Lord Jesus Christ, from which we derive the title, Stigmatine Fathers and Brothers.

The red background behind the lilies, in the lower half, represents the Charity which the Stigmatines embrace to conquer souls and dominate all hearts.

The two lilies united together under the motto
of our Congregation, "Euntes Docete",
Latin for "Go forth and teach," depict our holy Patrons, the Blessed Virgin Mary and Saint Joseph.

The dividing line of silver, between the upper and lower halves, stands for Concord which together with innocence of life and purity of intentions shall bestow happiness and victory on all our members.

The olive tree branches around the shield are symbol of Peace, that the members of the Congregation strive to infuse on the conscientious, on the family and on the society.

 

(Note: The idealizer and first author of the Seal , approved by a notable
member of the Armorist Consultation House of Rome, is Prof. Father José Trecca, from Verona.
Later it was a little modified by one of our former students of
the College of Udine, Prof. Carlos Someda de Marco).
