The Christian Brothers have after much deliberation adopted a new logo (as seen on the right) to replace the one familiar to many generations of Past Pupils. This is in response to a changing focus within the Congregation and is best explained in the following caption from the Congregation website.

Logo Interpretation

“The central symbol of Christianity, i.e. the cross, is also the central to our expression of our identity as Christian Brothers. The shape of the cross takes its origin from Celtic spirituality as does our Congregation. The significance and the insights of Edmund Rice are highlighted in the stylised E which is incorporated in the logo.

As Disciples of Christ, Christian Brothers are continually called to let go and leave behind all that prevents us from living faithfully the values of the Gospel and from promoting the Kingdom of God. This call and response is shown symbolically by the movement of the circle away from its regular pattern. Our call to internationality, which flows from the time of our Founder and continues on to this day, is not just in geography but also in moving, as flexible and mobile disciples, to meet the needs of the times. The new leaves and shoots express a continually renewing spiritual journey, offering new life to the Congregation and bringing hope to our Brothers and to our world. Yet even the new leaves continue to express our growth through fragility, by their links to the cross and in risks of branching out.”
