The merging of Akron’s first two Catholic<br />
schools, <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Mary</strong> and <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Vincent</strong>, is portrayed<br />
in the official crest of STVM. Featured in gold<br />
on a green background are a cross, a torch, and<br />
a plow and sword. The cross symbolizes the<br />
religious foundation of the school. The torch,<br />
symbolizing learning, differs from traditional<br />
designs in that it is held by two hands, one<br />
representing each school. The plow and sword<br />
symbolize commitment to social justice and were part of the crest of<br />
the late Bishop Clarence Issenman, who directed the formation of <strong>St</strong>.<br />
