New CREST for Saint Charles Borromeo Academy

Faith in Marketing is excited to showcase the new CREST (a.k.a. Coat of Arms / Achievement Mark) for Saint Charles Borromeo Academy, in the Diocese of Kansas City – St. Joseph. The academy was founded in 1947 in Oakview, Missouri, a suburb “village” near Gladstone, in the Northland area of Kansas City.

Saint Charles Borromeo Academy is located at Saint Charles Catholic Parish, which recently welcomed its new Pastor, Fr. Don Farnan. Father Don previously served the community at St. Thomas More Parish on Holmes Road in Kansas City, Missouri. At Saint Charles, Fr. Don has provided a new sense of spirit and energy. Parishioners even enjoy his weekly blog writings.

The academy’s new crest will be used as a formal marking on letterhead, signage and other collateral / marketing materials. Faith in Marketing creates unique logos, crests and other artwork for Catholic Schools, Parishes and Organizations. The Catholic marketing company is based in San Diego, California, and also provides services including:

  • shield
  • cross
  • laurel wreath (leaves of victory) or
  • laurel crown (crown of laurels)
  • trivium symbol
  • keys to the kingdom
  • praying hands (or a symbol that represents serving God) or
