Origin/meaning

The image and the red colour of the Holy Spirit indicate that the Spirit brings life and fire and generously bestows its transforming energy on creation.

In the Igbo context, the wooden gong (ekwe) is the instrument for convoking an assembly for deliberation, for “Palaver.” It is also the instrument for readying the community for a public service announcement. The gong stands in for the diocesan family, what we want to be and to do. W Blue is the colour of our Blessed Mother Mary, whose spouse Joseph, is the patron saint of our diocese. We are connected in a deep way with Our Lady. True to the character of St. Joseph, chaste, humble, reliable and self-effacing, we have also represented him indirectly through reference to our Blessed Mother Mary and her Son.
