The Story of Our Parish Logo 

Our Parish Logo depicts two swans (great symbols of Albert Park) and here also representing the two Parishes of St. Silas, Albert Park and St. Anselm, Middle Park. 

They come together under one roof, which is depicted as a stylized palm tree- another striking image of our area, found both around the lake and along the seashore. Its fronds suggest an open Bible.

The palm tree has within it a gothic Church-like window reminding us of both the nurturing role of our local Parish and the windows to God that the Church provides in this place.

The cross above all this reveals our loyalty to Jesus, who is the head of the body and the One who holds us all in unity.

The blue and green lines represent water and parkland. As a locality in Melbourne we are defined by the beauty of Albert Park Lake, Port Phillip Bay and the parks and gardens abutting these and other places in our corner of the inner south of the City.

Finally all the symbols together form a triangle, the great and classic symbol of the Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and thus our logo speaks about our faith, our Parish and our locality.​
