Lead to the Deep
The words Duc in altum, are in the Latin language and are derived
from the Gospel of Dt. John 21:6.
In this Gospel, we come across Jesus asking Peter, one of his
main disciples to lower his finishing nets into the deep waters.
Peter, an experienced fisherman with a deep childlike trust,
faithfully obeys his master's voice and lowers the nets to the deep
waters thereby resulting in a great catch.
Taking this inspiration from the same gospel, the Catholic Diocese
of Purnea, opens an English Medium School named after its
Patron, St. Peter's School and takes as it's motto "Duc in Altum".
which means "Lead to the Deep".
- LEAD - The world "Lead", means to
guide by persuasion or by example.
- DEEP - the word "Deep" means "extending far down" or
"Very intense".
