A New Look for Next Generation Parish

When Catholic Leadership Institute renewed the Next Generation Parish service to meet the needs of our ever-changing world, it was important for us to also capture its bold and creative vision that meets the appeal of an increasingly visual world. We went to the drawing board with Memento Creative Co. and settled on a visual mark that represents a church sent out on mission for Christ.

The logomark represents the living Church, deeply rooted in tradition and boldly oriented toward the future. The arch evokes sacred architecture, reminiscent of both doors and windows. A church door is a place of welcome and sending, while windows are sources of light that illuminate the darkness.

Rays of light emanate from the center and symbolize Christ, the Light of the World, and echo the call to go forth in mission. These rays also form distinct shapes that reflect the diverse ministries and communities of a parish that are united by one mission.

The gold band reflects the vibrancy of a thriving parish community and underscores the call to be sent beyond its walls.

As we continue walking alongside parishes across the country, Catholic Leadership Institute remains committed to forming and sending out the next generation of parish leaders. We hope this brand stands as a visible reminder of what is possible when a parish comes together to bring about meaningful change in an apostolic age.
