It was in 1924, 240 years after the foundation that, the Sisters of St. Charles paid special honour to the armorial bearing of the Congregation. As seen on the front cover, the centre of the emblem is occupied with the shield. The colour blue depicts the colour of the mantle of Mother Mary. The red colour of the shield characterizes the loving heart of Jesus and His sacrifice for the redemption of humankind. The golden beehive is flanked by bees of golden hue on either side. Above these are found the letters S.C.B. (ST. CHARLES BORROMEO) in silver, entwined with a golden chord. The whole shield is surrounded by lilies and violets, in the midst of which is our motto – Toil, Faith and Progress. The entire crest is surmounted by a Cross, radiating the rays of Divine Love.  The beehive represents every community and institution of St. Charles inhabited by busy bees – all working together for the common goal.
The spirit of the congregation is symbolically expressed in its emblem. It is nothing but the spirit of the life of St. Charles lived out in the 15^th century in total commitment and faithfulness to the will of GOD. The same spirit has been passed on to us down the ages and well depicted in the Coat of Arms.
