Logo

Our charitable service offering and Catholic foundations are expressed in the symbol itself as well as the name “Stella Maris”. The elements within the symbol characterise our mission. The anchor symbolises Hope: when the anchor is dropped at sea, it holds fast to keep the ship and crew safe - just as we hold fast to our hope in God to keep us safe. The lifesaver symbolises Faith: when a seafarer falls into the sea, they put their trust in the lifesaver to save them - just as we put our faith in god for eternal salvation. The heart symbolises Charity: the heart of Christ is full of love for all - our charitable works are animated by the love of Christ. The rays of light symbolise the Light of Christ: the light emanates from the Heart of Christ (the heart), shines towards our Faith (the lifesaver) and is rooted in Hope (the anchor). And finally, the waves of the sea mark the environment for our mission - a source of livelihood for seafarers, but also a reminder of danger and death. Accepting and believing in Faith, Hope and Charity leads seafarers and their families to the safe harbour of Heaven.
