Deep blues and rich reds may be used, often accented with gold or white, creating a sense of reverence and timelessness. The overall aesthetic aims for a balance of sophistication and approachability, allowing the wearer to proudly display their affiliation with the Archdiocese.
Symbolism and Meaning
