We, the members of the Immaculate Heart Community,
rooted in Jesus Christ and united with the people of God,
commit ourselves to build relations in society
which foster access of all persons to truth, dignity,
and full human development, and strategically change
practices and situations which impede such access.
With reverence for all creation, in our choice of work and living style,
and in our use of time, talent, and money,
we hold ourselves accountable to
God and to one another for affecting this goal
and supporting one another in this effort.
Symbols are rich, multi-dimensional, multivalent depictions or objects which can stand for many things. A good symbol stands the test of time — though it may speak differently to different ages. A good symbol can speak to persons of every age and every era.
