Our CrestThis crest was designed to articulate the history and culture of our school. The shield on which the symbols are shown is the original shield
of the founding sisters,
The Sisters of Mercy of Burlingame. Interestingly enough, the seven bars across the bottom of the original crest were green and gold -- our school colors. The Eucharistic cup and grapes on the shield emphasize the centrality of the blessed Sacrament to our faith and school.
The cross with the heart at its center depicts the love of Christ,
but also the influence of the sisters of the Lovers of the Holy cross on our school.
The S-B-S, of course, identifies us as St. Bruno School, and the letters are separated by two shamrocks, indicative of the Irish foundress of the Sisters of Mercy, Sr. Catherine Elizabeth McAuley. The motto across the bottom is taken from the words of St. Bruno,
"As the Earth changes, the cross remains."
