Strength in Christ

THE CIRCLE represents the Eucharist and reminds us of our communion with Christ.

THE FISH represents St Peter, who was a fisherman and faithfully followed Jesus. He became a Fisher of men.

THE BIBLE symbolises God’s words and wisdom written for his children.

WATER is the symbol of purity, holiness and life. It is one of God’s many precious gifts to us.
