The monogram M.A. with the star above and the crescent moon below represents the Blessed Virgin in her Assumption: Maria Assumpta; the patron of the archdiocese of Moncton. The moon serves are her pedestal, in accordance with Saint John's vision in Pathmos: "Mulier amieta sole et luna pedibus ejus" (Rev.XIl-1). The star recalls the next part of the text "''et in capite ejus corona stellarum duodecim''", the first verse of the liturgical hymn: "Ave Maris Stella". | The monogram M.A. with the star above and the crescent moon below represents the Blessed Virgin in her Assumption: Maria Assumpta; the patron of the archdiocese of Moncton.
