alé Uy Saint Pov! The Thought Behind the Idea 1 was thinking about St. Paul and his story. God chose someone sinful, who persecuted Christians and changed him with the light of Christ (literally AND figuratively). His “weapon of choice” changed from a sword to a pen, and with it, he helped spread the Gospel to the world. As individuals we are also sinful people, but God can use us too. St. Paul Church is known for the love we show each other within our walls. We can share that love with every soul that walks through the door, regardless of denomination, race or social status, and then in turn, channel it toward the greater commu- nity through outreach. That is OUR “weapon of choice.” By doing that, we become more than just “that Catholic Church on Highway 25”. We become an instrument to spread the Gospel in our community. I took a recognizable symbol, unique to our building (the circular, quartered window) and begun with that shape. The starburst element represents the light of Christ that blinded St. Paul, the same light we show to each other inside the building. It is “escaping” from our own church and radiating into the world. As far as the other colors, the reddish-purple color represents the sin of St. Paul and of all of us, despite which we can be used by God. The green represents the outside world, all of the wonders and beauty of God resplendent in his creation. The blue symbolizes the sky and the Heavens where God reigns over us. Both colors seen out of the actual windows. The Type treatment consists of a certain typeface, with some letter shapes manipulated. For example, | altered the “t” to resemble a dagger or sword, which is another reference to St. Paul's former life.
