2021: The Year to Ignite and Shine with Faith
Two hundred years ago, on 11 December 1821, St Laurent Imbert landed in Singapore. From then, missionaries from faraway lands came and planted the seeds of faith. Thereafter, the growing local Church has seen the ebb and flow of history, which shaped modern Singapore. From 13 December 2020, our Archdiocese will mark this pivotal year to launch a new era of faith.
I have reached Singapore on 11th instant, and have visited according to your Lordship’s request the Catholics of this new settlement. There are only 12 or 13 in number…

LOGO
① Red symbolises Singapore and Blood of Christ.
② The blast of light in the darkness symbolises the presence of God in moments of difficulties.
③ This red dot represents the energy and passion of Singapore and its people.
④ The shape and concept for the logo is inspired by a Monstrance representing the Body of Christ and it is meant to remind us that we are part of One Body.
⑤ The compass represents that many migrants came from all over the world to be part of the Singapore story. The Singapore Archdiocese has Catholics from almost every continent.
⑥ “S” represents Singapore Catholics, inviting them to shine with Faith.

⑧ Cross, the sign of our faith.
