The
logo of St. Joseph Region, beautiful in its simplicity,
offers profound thoughts to be pondered in the hearts of
those who would capture the depth of its powerful meaning.
The darker green of the background
symbolizes the commitment of the Grey Nuns to the environment
and the hope that our united efforts will contribute to
global awareness of the dangers threatening our entire universe.
The heart symbolizes the spirituality
of compassion, the legacy of St. Marguerite d’Youville,
Mother of Universal Charity, and our challenge to be a prayerful
presence and transformative, prophetic witness to the love
of God to all as brothers and sisters.
The Cross, symbol of God’s
unconditional love, represents the philosophy of Marguerite
and the Grey Nuns that every successful undertaking is built
on the Cross, that every human person is the image of God,
and that trust in Divine Providence conquers all obstacles.
The daisy (also known as
a marguerite) symbolizes the great yet humble St. Marguerite
whose spirit and spirituality have inspired women and men
of every age to minister to and advocate for those most
in need.
