Gallery Page: Queens Park, Western Australia

This is the Canonry Crest of St. Joseph's Priory. Note the Fleur de Lis at upper left showing the connection with the Order of Prémontré; the stellar constellation called the Southern Cross at upper right showing the connection with Australia; the yellow band with shamrocks, tracing their connection with their Irish mother Abbey of Killnacrott; and the swan, showing their specific location in the Swan River area of Western Australia (near Perth). The motto reads "In the midst of the Church."
