The members of the parish council recently made a historic decision that will help identify our parish for many years to come.

What could it be? Parish colors and mascot, of course!

With a sports program starting as early as this fall, the parish council found it important to make the decision to set a parish mascot and colors to be used by our future teams. So after weighing several options, the decision was to go with the colors black and gold and the mascot of an Eagle.

So you may ask, why black/gold and an eagle?

The answer - the coat of arms of Magenta, Italy (St. Gianna's birthplace) is black and gold and boasts an eagle at the top; so it made logical sense. Credit must go to Father Elliott for pointing out this fact during the decision making process!
