Our Mascot: The Lion

The Meaning of the Lion as a Catholic Christian Symbol. The lion is a symbol of Christ, the Lion of Judah. The Lion Christian Symbol represents alertness and watchfulness. The lion is connected to God in that as a lion sleeps with its eyes open, so too does God who never sleeps as He watches over his children. The Lion of St. Mark: The lion is symbolic of Saint Mark.
