About the shield logo

This shield was designed with symbols representing fatherhood, marriage and Catholicism.

  • It is a shield, which signifies a father’s duty to defend both his family and his faith.
  • It is blue, because that is the color of our Blessed Mother.
  • The CD are the Catholic Dads initials.
  • The keys in the upper right represent the Pope, and demonstrate our Catholic loyalty.
  • The two rings in the lower left represent marriage.
  • The fleur de lis (a lily) is here a symbol of St. Joseph, foster father to Jesus and spouse to Mary.
  • The Sacred Heart is at the center of the shield, just as Christ must be at the center of our lives.
