The Archdiocese of Los Angeles has designed a special Jubilee logo for our local Church to complement the official logo from the Holy See.
At the bottom of the logo, a doorway signifies the Holy Doors in Rome and “the door of faith” (Acts 14:27) through which we pass to join the Church on her earthly pilgrimage to heavenly glory. An upward pathway from the doorway signifies this pilgrimage of hope. We journey together, “keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus” (Heb 12:2).
The cross stands at the center of the logo, since in Christ, “all things hold together” (Col 1:17). Pope Francis says: “the Cross of Christ remains the anchor of salvation: a sign of hope that does not disappoint because it is founded on the love of God” (Pope Francis, General Audience, 21 September 2022).
A Eucharistic host radiates from the cross signifying the grace poured out from the heart of Christ crucified and received in the Most Holy Eucharist. Jesus promises: “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day” (John 6:54). Our participation in the Eucharist anticipates the heavenly banquet to come and nourishes us for mission today. Jesus sends into a world cast down us as missionaries of hope.
