The symbol above the Baptismal Font (to the right of the main altar) represents the Holy Trinity. This symbol is placed in a most significant place because the Sacrament of Baptism makes our souls the temple of the Holy Trinity. The hand at the left peak of the symbol represents God the Father as the Creator, the One from whom all creation has come forth. The triangle which brings the entire symbol into unity represents the Trinity: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. All the sides of the triangle are equal which represents our Faith of three equal persons in one God. Superimposed upon the triangle is the Chalice out of which rises the Host. This is the Eucharistic symbol for Christ, the Son of God.
The dove represents the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity, who exercises the power of the Father and the Son in creation and redemption.

 

 

 

 

Tabernacle PictureThe symbol above the Tabernacle is a visual representation of Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament. The first two letters at the top are the Alpha and the Omega. The Alpha is the first letter of the Greek alphabet and the Omega is the last. Thus we have the beginning and the end. It is appropriate that these two letters became the symbol for Christ, the beginning and the end of all things. The dove is the symbol for the Holy Spirit. He descended upon Mary at the Annunciation, was present at Jesus' baptism, and came upon the Church at Pentecost.
