Zion Catholic is committed to offering Catholics in Utah the opportunity to grow in their faith, serve their community, and build the Kingdom of God in this beautiful state.
Our patroness, Mary Magdalene, shared with the Apostles,“I have seen the Lord.”The focus of our ministries is to share with our neighbors that we, too, have seen the Lord and wish to share Him with them.
OUR LOGO
The logo for Zion Catholic is also the state flower of Utah - the Sego Lily. Our mission is to build up the Church in this beautiful state, and we believe that the beauty of creation particularly found in Utah is inextricably linked to our work. The Sego Lily is a perfect symbol for our ministry.
There are three large petals on the lily, each indicating one of the three fundamental aspects of our ministry: The Corporal Works of Mercy, the Spiritual Works of Mercy, and Prayer. Within each of these petals, the natural colors of the lily towards the center of the flower are reminiscent of a flame. In our work, our hearts must be on fire for sharing the glory of Christ, which we are reminded by the natural gradient within the petal.
There are three smaller sepals on the flower, which naturally form a Trinitarian shape. This is to remind us that the one thing holding our ministry together is the Triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. When the three aspects of our ministry correspond with the work of the Trinity, the Theological virtues are bound to flow from our lives - Faith, Hope, and Love.
In the center of our logo is the Holy Spirit in the shape of a dove with the colors of fire. This symbolizes the two appearances of the active presence of the Holy Spirit in Scripture: at the baptism of Christ and at Pentecost. It is the Holy Spirit who is working within us as modern-day disciples in our evangelization, and He is at the heart of our ministry. Flowing from the Holy Spirit in the center are seven anthers, representing the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit which empower us to spread the Gospel most effectively.
