O God, guide us to make good choices at all times.

Factions

The tower is the defining symbol of the Kelly crest, representing Resilience and Strength. Inspired by Bishop Kelly’s coat of arms, it reflects the unwavering fortitude of Mother Mary, often referred to as the “Tower of David.” Just as the Tower of David was the
strongest fort in the walls of Jerusalem, this emblem serves as a reminder of our ability to stand tall in the face of challenge, remain steadfast, and support one another with unwavering strength.

“With strength and resilience, we play to win! Together we rise, let the game begin!”

The flame and lantern are the defining symbols of the Nagle crest, representing Courage and Unity. Nano Nagle, affectionately known as the “Lady of the Lantern,” was a bold and visionary leader who dedicated her life to uplifting poor and vulnerable children. With unwavering determination, she stood united with those in need, never turning her back on the challenges before her. Her legacy inspires us to shine brightly, stand together, and face challenge with courage and compassion.

“With courage and heart, we lead the way! Together we rise, together we play!”
