The Andrean Crest
Each part of the crest is explained below.
	The seal is a circle surmounted by an open book, the symbol of education.The open pages of the book are imprinted with the Alpha and Omega, the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet, symbols for Christ, the beginning and end of all things.The motto of the school, "Magister Meus Christus" (Christ is My Teacher), was the last sentence spoken by St. Andrew before his martyrdom. These words fill the outer rim of the circle, and incorporate the entire philosophy of the school and the reason for its existence.

Within the circular seal is a shield divided into four parts:
	Upper Left: Gold x-shaped cross (crux decussata), symbolizing loyalty and faithfulness, the cross on which St. Andrew died.
	Upper Right: Gold Greek cross, set on a background of red. The cross is the symbol of St. Basil, doctor of the Greek Church, and patron of the Basilian Fathers.
	Lower Left: Gold double-barred cross, symbol of SS. Cyril & Methodius. The three blue peaks beneath the cross are the Tatry Mountains of Slovakia. The red symbolizes the suffering of the Slavic people.
	Lower Right: Four black and three silver bars represent steel ingots, the principle industry of Northwest Indiana.
