Official Seal of JPII Minor Seminary

The John Paul II Minor Seminary of the Diocese of Antipolo opened 3 years ago to promote more vocations to the priesthood among the young people.  It was also in response to the growing number of boys wanting to experience God's call to them, even at a young age.

This is the official seal of the said seminary which I designed - integrating the papal seal (to represent Pope John Paul II) and a stylized image of Our Lady of Antipolo on top of 'tipolo' leaves (coming from the design of the official coat-of-arms of the Diocese of Antipolo).  The wheat and grapes symbolizes the Eucharist and the priestly ministry.  Imposed on the seal is the motto of St. John Paul II, "Totus Tuus" (All Yours).  It is highlighted as it gives challenge to the seminarians to ready themselves to surrender everything to God.  The cross symbolizes Jesus Christ, the Good Shepherd and the Lord of the Harvest.
