Origin/meaning

The green background recalls the liturgical color of Ordinary Time and represents the historical journey of the Church, as Mother and Teacher, bearer of the message of hope for humanity. The "T" (Tau) is the synthesis of French spirituality and heritage, a sign of commitment to the New Evangelization and of the response to the Church's calls on the threshold of the Third Millennium. The M stands for St. Mary.

The dove is the symbol of the Holy Spirit, descending, and wants to express the soul and the engine of all apostolic action

The motto "Ut Amor-ametur" ("so that LOVE may be loved") as a response and commitment to the lament of Saint Francis of Assisi who, looking at the living conditions of the people of his time, wept:"LOVE (God) is not loved".
