Paul VI School Seal

The V & J, Vive Jesu, translates to Live Jesus. This is the motto of St. Francis de Sales, the patron saint of St. Paul VI Catholic High School. The school shield displays the many aspects that represent both our history and who we are: the crescent moon from the shield of the Diocese of Arlington; the lion of Fairfax County, where the school was founded; and the papal tiara of Pope Paul VI in whose honor the school is named. “Grow in Grace and Wisdom” is the philosophy of the school, found in the prayer of the apostle Paul in his letter to the Philippians.

In 2018, the seal was updated to reflect the canonization of St. Pope Paul VI and “Est. 1983” replaced “Fairfax, Virginia” to reflect our relocation to Loudoun County.
