Squires Emblem

The Squires emblem symbolizes the ideals which identify a squire. On the arms of a Maltese cross are the letters “P”, which represents the physical development necessary to make the body as strong as the spirit; “I”, which stands for the intellectual development needed for cultural and mental maturity; “S”, which represents the spiritual growth and practice of our faith and “C”, which stands for the development of citizenship and civic life. The larger letters “C”, representing Christ; “S”, the Squires; and “K” the Knights of Columbus by whom the Squires program is sponsored, are intertwined in the center of the cross. They are the three foundations of the program. “Esto Dignus”, the Squires’ motto encircling the emblem, is Latin for “Be Worthy.”
