Celebrating our Faith and our Community
​
Our parish logo is a reflection of our faith and our community. The design elements work in tandem to tell our story - including our humble beginnings with the settlement of Irish Catholics in Merrickville.
Cruciform
​
Features a combination of three Christian cross styles.
Greek Cross to signify the harmony of the universe, spreading the gospel to the North, South, East and West.
Byzantine Cross (Latin cross with outwardlyspreading ends) to symbolize Christ’s sovereign power.
Celtic Cross to recognize the mass immigration of Irish Catholics to Merrickville and the surrounding areas in 1816. Many more Irish and French Catholics settled here with the building of the Rideau Canal (1826-1832). Together with the earlier Irish immigrants, they were Merrickville’s pioneer Catholic families.
