The Seal of the Society of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Watertown, NY

symbolizes . . .

 

God Himself, the Circle
The Holy Trinity, the Triangle
Mary, the Star; Joseph, the Lilies
Foundation in France, the Fleur-de-lis

The Cross recalls sacrifice
The Three Nails ­ the Vows of
Poverty, Chastity, Obedience.

The Chalice and Host are reminiscent
of the Founder's words:
"God has shown me a perfect
model of our Little Plan in the
Most Holy Eucharist".

Charity and Humility ­ two Virtues
Which every Sister of Saint Joseph
Must Practice

While portraying in her life
the Motto
"Unto the Glory of the trinity to serve Christ".
