Year of Faith 2012-2013 Official Logo | Catholic Church Initiative #102329 (License: Personal Use)

This maroon-and-white logo commemorates the Catholic Church’s “Year of Faith,” proclaimed by Pope Benedict XVI from October 11, 2012, to November 24, 2013. It combines the ancient Christogram “IHS,” a Latin cross, and a symbolic boat-evoking Peter’s vessel and the Church as the Barque of St. Peter-set within a circular wave motif signifying the Holy Spirit and mission. The design reflects themes of renewal, evangelization, and deepening doctrinal understanding.

Used on Vatican communications, diocesan websites, liturgical materials, and educational resources during the 2012-2013 Jubilee Year; targets Catholics seeking information about the initiative, catechists, theologians, and historians researching modern papal programs.
