Like all other groups or organizations, the
SCA has a logo. It actually summarizes the orientation of the movement: focus, beliefs and ideals. Let us understand the meaning of the SCAP Logo The SCA Logo CROSS AT THE CENTER OF THE LOGO means that the present SCAP is still focused on the same idealism from which the SCAP was founded. Jesus Christ, represented by the Cross, is the inspiration and center of the Christian life en-visioned by the organization The SCA Logo RAYS OF THE CROSS, TOTALING SEVEN (7) represents the Seven Sacraments and the Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit, which all SCAns value and witness in their commitment to follow Jesus. The SCAns commit themselves to the service of the Lord to actualize the SCAP mission of “Restoring all things in Christ.” The SCA Logo THREE PARALLELED LINES consist the border starting from left-below to form an imaginary spiral movement and ending to form an arrow towards top-right represents the following: The SCA Logo The THREE PARALLEL LINES starting from left-below, represents the three major regions of the country, namely: Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. Their being parallel with each other is recogni-tion of the difference in culture and belief between the three major re-gions. However, their common faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior shall motivate all of us to move simultaneously and hand-in-hand in pursuit of our quest for a truly Christian life. The second part of the border where the parallel lines converge to form an arrow represents the HOLY TRINITY: Three different persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit in One God. The SCA Logo IMAGINARY SPIRAL MOVEMENT OF THE BORDER this movement represents the dynamism in the SCAP where we have to See every situation we encounter in our lives, Judge the situation relative to our Christian faith and Act in accordance with the will of the Almighty. We have to adopt to the ever changing environment and the intricacies of life. The SCA Logo FROM BELOW TO TOP MOVEMENT We have to move from where we are now, towards our aspiration for Holiness and be more like Jesus Christ. A call for every SCAn to enrich and sustain one’s relationship to God through prayers, participation in the Holy Mass, recollection, read-ing the Bible and other activities of the Catholic Church towards that end. The SCA Logo FROM LEFT TO RIGHT MOVEMENT. As SCAns, our actions must emanate from our hearts toward righteousness and service to the peo-ple. We have to love one another as God love us. The SCA Logo FROM LEFT TO RIGHT MOVEMENT. As SCAns, our actions must emanate from our hearts toward righteousness and service to the peo-ple. We have to love one another as God love us. The SCA Logo COLORS WHITE AND BLUE represent the movement’s recognition of Mary’s great role in the fulfillment of God’s plan of our salvation.
