Hospitality
and
Mercy

 

Our motto is inspired by the Sacred Heart of Jesus who, from the beginning is revealed as I AM. He is forever opering a hearty welcome rich in mercy.

The symbols have been carved in a 3,300 year old piece of wood. Our history and journey of faith stem from the faith of our fathers throughout the First and Second Covenants.

The “windows” reflect our pilgrimage of faith in Christ throughout the ages.

The “heart” is the gentleness, love, compassion and mercy of God abundantly given through His Son. In the image of God, we are commissioned to the same, thus the virtue of Mercy.

The “open hand” is the openness to the Ultimate Other with God’s Word that enlightens our being as Christians. We who are attentive to the Word, journey on the paths conducive to Faith, Hope and Charity. Our witnessing in the world leads us to a greater love for our neighbour as Christ has taught us which brings us to another value, that of receiving kindly - Welcome.

In Christ, through Christ, with Christ, God’s mercy nurtures our hearts with wisdom in the light of the Holy Spirit.

Let us live out our mission of love in this days and age: open our hearts, open our hands to all those we encounter in the Lord: we form the “Body of Christ, the Church in our world”.
