DIOCESAN LOGO EXPLAINED

The Sacred Heart of Jesus is the Patron of the diocese hence the logo carries the symbol of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the seat of love, the love which has been poured into our souls by the Holy Spirit. The heart of Jesus is inflamed with love, burning for the salvation of the world.  The Sacred Heart of Jesus is the inspiration for the love that is firing the zeal of all within the diocese to be engaged in the missionary apostolate so as to be instruments for bringing the message of the salvation of Christ to the whole world.
