ABOUT US
2025 / General Assembly
Presentation of the Theme and Logo for the General Assembly 2025
In the midst of the 800 year anniversary of Francis’ Canticle of Creation, we will meet as the international Franciscan Conference of the Third Order Regular to look anew at Christ’s challenge to Francis to Repair His House.
Recalling Pope Francis’ challenge of Laudato Si’, we extend that message to include repairing the world.
Through reflection and sharing on the theme: “Franciscans, Repair my World” the General Assembly 2025 is an opportunity to come together as sisters and brothers of the Third Order Regular of St. Francis to deepen within us the basic Franciscan values as we are challenged to live them today.
Conceptual Description of the Logo
The main shape that makes up the logo for the IFC-TOR General Assembly 2025 is the San Damiano Crucifix, which is represented through a stylized design.
It lays on a brick base that recalls the mission of “reconstruction” that Franciscans are called by God to accomplish in the world.
The proposed arrangement is related to the message that St. Francis heard three times in front of the San Damiano Crucifix: “Francis, go and repair my house…”
In the disposition of the elements depicted in the logo, a few «key words» arranged around the globe to signify the world are highlighted. Those effuse into the earth’s circumference a message intended to be one of PEACE “for the world”, FRATERNITY “among all God’s sons and daughters”, “custody for the” CREATION, CARE “toward our brothers and sisters”, RESPECT “for other people”, and UNITY “in a world that is continually divided”.
