In commemoration of the 15th anniversary of the parish’s foundation, Msgr. Gervasio commissioned the Rev. Matthew Mauriello of the Diocese of Bridgeport and a skilled calligrapher to design a parish crest or coat of arms. It will serve as a symbol of our parish and will be used on parish letterhead and other documents.
Encircling the shield is the corporate name of the parish and its year of establishment. It was Bishop John M. Smith who erected the parish in 2005 through the merger of the parishes of Saint Anthony, founded in 1921, and Our Lady of Sorrows, founded in 1941.
The coat of arms contains various images that are associated with the co-patrons of the parish and the titulars of its churches:
