The Cover Design

The embossed design on the cover of this Souvenir Book is not without artistic merit and appropriate significance. The lettering and symbols are executed to represent the fundamental ideas in the organization of Most Holy Name Church. The central monogram gives prominent emphasis to the tutelage of the church. I H S of the Greek alphabet are the first three letters of

the Saviour’s Holy Name under which title our church and congregation have been sacredly dedicated. To its right is a monogram of the blessed name Maria, and to its left are the three letter of the name Joseph: Jesus, Mary and Joseph! "Ubi Jesus, ibi Maria” and the mystics: “Where Jesus is, there also is Mary.” With the Holy Name, then, as the central figure, we must place at the right the sweet name of Jesus’ Mother; and with both these saving names shall we ever forget to link the name of the humble Carpenter who was the foster father of the One and the chaste spouse of the other?

The union of these holy names, however, has another and deeper significance upon the occasion of this Anniversary. The name of Mary is place next to the name of Jesus to render filial homage and respect to Saint Mary Church, the mother congregation; and the name of the Saviour’s Protector is added as a fraternal tribute to Saint Joseph Church, which was founded

simultaneously with our own. (Cf. “the Establishing of the Church of the Most Holy Name” in the Parish History.)

Above the name of Mary is the Coat of Arms of the Supreme Pontiff, and opposite it the escutcheon of our Rt. Revernd Bishop Boyle. The clergy and the people of Most Holy Name Church seek hereby to acknowledge lawfully constituted authority and to proclaim their love, honor, and obedience to the Holy Father and the dear Bishop.

The faithful Catholic, however, is also a faithful patriot. Indeed fidelity to Mother Church engenders faithfulness and loyalty to both City and State, and we emphasize this in the lower circles of our cover design, in which are placed the Great Seal of the United States and the Seal of the City of Pittsburgh. As true Catholics and as true citizens we shall ever herald as our motto of loyalty the cry, “Pro Ecclesia et pro Patria.” “For Our Church and Our Country.”
