Saint Brendan (c484-578) : There are two great Irish saints named Brendan, and both were abbots. Saint Brendan the Younger, whose feast is May 16, was educated by Saint Ita and Saint Finian. According to legend, St. Brendan was the first to make a voyage to the shores of America, the "Land of Promise", nine hundred years before Columbus discovered America. He is called "Saint Brendan the Navigator." He founded schools and monasteries and is the patron saint of sailors.

The picture of the ship is symbolic of Saint Brendan. As a faculty committed to Catholic education, we welcome the opportunity to "Navigate Your Future!"
