St. Louis, with its arch, a gateway to the west... Dedication speech, Hubert Humphrey: the arch “a soaring curve in the sky that links the rich heritage of yesterday with the richer future of tomorrow” and brings a “new purpose” and a “new sense of urgency…". … a fitting image for the 2014 Annual Conference

New Evangelization… “new in its ardor, methods and expression” Arch: sign of “Gateway to Mission“… grounded in our “rich heritage of yesterday” with new “ardor, methods and expression” creating a “richer future of tomorrow” where the people of God have “renewed energy and confidence in their faith rooted in a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ, an increased knowledge of the Faith, a greater participation in the sacramental life of the Church, and a stronger commitment to be active disciples.” (USCCB Strategic Plan)
