The Angels form an inverted letter "V" sign appearing three on each side. St. Michael, the Archangel stands at the apex of the inverted letter "V" below a white dove. At the center of the "V" shape was the Holy Family. St. Joseph standing with a cane, and the Blessed Mother sitting on a rock carrying Jesus on her lap. The Holy Family was standing on a bed of clouds. On top of them is the Holy Spirit in the form of a white dove. The Angels on each side were identified as:
