Our jubilee logo expresses who we are as Schoenstatt Sisters of Mary — our identity, our mission, and the spiritual foundations that have carried our community from 1926 to today. Each element speaks of a central aspect of our vocation.
The Cross — Christ at the Centre
At the heart of the logo stands the Cross of Christ, the source of our calling and the sign of surrender, transformation, and mission. As consecrated women, we offer our lives to Christ in chastity, poverty, and obedience. The Cross reminds us that everything flows from him.
Around the Cross appears the symbol of the Schoenstatt Shrine, our spiritual home. Here we receive the graces that form, renew and strengthen us for our mission. From the Shrine we go forth to build a home for others — in families, parishes, our centres, and wherever we serve. It is both our origin and our anchor.
The Blossom — Growth and Mary’s Educational Mission
The small blossom represents life, beauty, and the unfolding of our God‑given dignity. Through our mission, we hope to help others grow into their true selves, just as Mary, our Mother and Educator, forms us. The blossom reflects interior transformation, spiritual growth, and the gentle fruitfulness of a Marian presence.
The Arrows — Sent Into the World
The outward‑pointing arrows show that our mission does not remain within the Shrine. We are sent to bring Christ and the spirituality of Schoenstatt into daily life, society, places of need, and into the hearts of all we meet. They express movement, openness, and missionary availability.
The Golden Arcs — The Covenant of Love
The golden arcs, marked with the years 1926–2026, symbolise the grace that has sustained us throughout our first century as Schoenstatt Sisters of Mary. They express the strength we draw from our Covenant of Love with Mary — a bond that has shaped our history and guided our mission. The gold of the arcs stand for our gratitude for the past, confidence as we step into the future, and deep trust in Mary’s continuing guidance and protection.
A Symbol of Who We Are
Together, these elements show what defines us as Schoenstatt Sisters of Mary:
- Christ at the centre,
- formed in the Shrine,
- blossoming into Marian service,
- sent out in mission,
- and carried by the Covenant of Love.
As we enter our 100th year, this logo becomes a visual prayer of gratitude — and a promise to continue our mission with renewed joy, trust, and dedication.
