The logo is composed of a square, bordered field on which a boat, symbolizing the Church is represented as sailing on a graphically minimal representation of waves. The main mast of the boat is a cross from which sails are displayed in the form of dynamic signs which compose the trigram of Christ(IHS). The background to the sails is a sun which, associated with the trigram refers also to the Eucharist.
