institute's website. This flag is horizontally divided black-red-yellow with a
half-star faceted white and black placed along the hoist. The flag is based on
the national flag of Germany, the country of St. Albert the Great. The black and

projecting and reflecting them, is a symbol of predication. White and black are
the expression of the fraternal kiss of the Colombian Caribbean race, which

religious discrimination. Red is a traditional symbol of love and sacrifice,
which initiate evangelical compassion in the institute's college. Yellow is a
symbol of the Gospel's light that enlightens the man's life. Yellow and red
