This is the crest familiar to Loreto Pupils worldwide.
It is surmounted by the words
'Maria Regina Angelorum'
which indicate the patronage of our
Lady, Queen of Angels.
The emblem is rich in symbolism:
The Cross - sign of Salvation;
The Sacred Heart - Source of infinite love of Jesus
for each one of us;
The Heart of Mary - our human model of hope.
This symbolism is summed in the final scroll:
"Cruci dum Spiro fido"
"Throughout my life, I shall place my hope in the cross."
