The NAME of our Youth Group

From the gospel of John 1:38-39

“The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus. When Jesus turned and saw them following, he said to them, “What are you looking for?” They said to him, “Teacher where are you staying?” He said to them, “Come and see.” They came and saw where he was staying, and they remained with him that day.”

 

Inspiration of logos

The Preca Community logo shows three seeds that are being scattered. The seed on the ground is germinating. In Luke 8:13, the seed is compared to the word of God. In Preca we are called to share God’s word.

The Come & See Youth Group logo gets its inspiration “Let us fix our eyes on Jesus.” Hebrews 12:2.

Our Motto

From St George Preca’s prayer, “Divine Teacher, may the whole world follow the Gospel”.

Originally in Latin: The acrostic MUSEUM, Magister, utinam sequatur Evangelium universus mundus.
