Ministry to seafarers gets new name, new logo in centenary year.
As it celebrates 100 years of global ministry to seafarers, the Apostleship of the Sea is also marking the occasion with the official adoption of the familiar name Stella Maris and launch of a new logo.
Stella Maris, which translates as Star of the Sea, is the name already used for centres around the world from which pastoral care and practical support is delivered - including many Australian ports.
"Our ministry has global reach and impact. Having a unified logo will help us publicise and celebrate the wonderful work being accomplished," said Fr Bruno Ciceri, the Vatican-based international director of the Stella Maris network.Posted On:10-Oct-2020
