Our Logo
Established 2024
St. Maximilian Kolbe had an inspiring devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Kolbe said, “Never be afraid of loving the Blessed Virgin too much. You can never love her more than Jesus did.”
Our new logo is inspired by Kolbe’s love for Mary - as the fleur de lis represents the Marian symbol of a lily, and our beautiful chapel structure points our eyes towards her beloved son, Jesus Christ, present in the Holy Eucharist.
While the fleur de lis is itself a Marian image, elements of the flower teach us about our patron saint. The gold bar reminiscent of a book, calls to mind the Bible, the Word of God, which grounded St. Maximilian and compelled him to share that Word with the world. Like the petals of the flower, the work of evangelization flowers forth from the fount of Scripture. We also see within that image a fountain pen’s tip, symbolizing the vast work of writing and publication that St. Maximilian and his community shared with the world.
Our Faith on Fire logo was created with our blessed mother, Mary close to our hearts. Her Immaculate Heart is honored around the world, and its meaning portraying a pure and burning love for God and His Son, Jesus.
With our main logo capturing the essence of “to Jesus through Mary” this logo continues this vision with a desire to learn and grow closer to Christ through Mary’s Immaculate Heart. With our faith formation’s long-standing theme of “fire”, we continue to draw closer to the blue of her flame - the warmest and most central piece. Through her intercession, may we Spark a desire to learn, Fuel that appetite with courses catered to our parish children, and continue that mission - to Ignite that spark in others until the world is Ablaze!
Becoming Catholic is the formal title for our Right of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA/OCIA.)
In the Sacraments of Initiation - Baptism, Holy Communion, and Confirmation, our Lord sends down His Spirit to dwell in the newly initiated members of our Catholic faith. This image seeks to communicate the Holy Spirit, taking the form of a dove, descending in tongues of fire upon these catechumens and candidates - just as He is depicted in the New Testament.
