Beyond the Logo
Heart
The heart originates from the Salina Diocese Coat of Arms. It represents the Sacred Heart of Jesus and honors our Sacred Heart Cathedral. It also represents the gifts given from the hearts of our donors.
Hand
The hands represent the duality of gift and receipt. They serve as a visual reminder that everything we receive is a gift from God. In response to that gift, we are called to be good stewards and give of our gifts to others.
Together
Together, the hand in the heart demonstrate the core mission of the foundation for Diocese to support all aspects of the Catholic faith in the Diocese of Salina by developing, managing, growing, and granting funds using Catholic values, honoring the donor’s intent.
