Christ in the City

Each layer of cardboard and kraft under our new logo reflects the many layers of our mission’s heart—authentic, grounded, and open-handed like Christ’s love. The wounded hand of Christ reminds us that service comes with sacrifice, and through every texture, we honor the lives transformed by compassion. This isn’t just a logo—it’s a commitment to continue walking the streets with open hands and open hearts. Symbolism of the Logo: • The Giving & Receiving Hand: Positioned to symbolize both generosity and readiness to receive others in their vulnerability. • The Cross: A clear sign of our Catholic identity, reminding us who we serve. • A Star of Bethlehem Hint: The cross subtly resembles a star, nodding to Christ’s humble, homeless birth. • The Wounds of Christ: “Love Until It Hurts” The wounds are a reminder to love sacrificially, as Christ did. • Christ’s Support: The hand holds “Christ in the City” to show that He is the foundation of our mission. • Invitation to Sacrifice: Christ’s hand presenting the cross to us asking us take up our own crosses and serve others, even when it’s challenging. #brandrefresh #newlogo #missionheart #christshand #rebrand #logoupdate #symbolism #catholic #christian

We are convinced that our friends on the streets give us way more than we give them. They teach us to surrender and trust the Lord fully, because that is all they can do in their times of suffering. We all need the reminder to trust that there is glory in the resurrection and that in Him and only Him will we be satisfied.

Exciting things are in the works! 🎙️ Our Managing Director Blake Brouillette and Creative Director Peter McCabe recently teamed up with Kevin Cotter, Head of Content at Hallow, to record an upcoming episode featuring Christ in the City!

We are excited to share that Christ in the City was featured in Philanthropy Daily by Center For Civil Society! 📰 The article highlights the crucial role our missionaries play in providing not only food but deep, meaningful encounters with the homeless in both Denver and Philadelphia. Through our “Lunch in the Park” program and street outreach, our mission is to build relationships, restore dignity, and truly love those who are often unseen. Thank you to AmPhil as well for their continual support of our mission.

We can't give what we don't have Our mission to know, love and serve starts with ourselves. It's crucial to prioritize building our own virtues and sanctifying ourselves before we can go out and share that with the world. Let's take the time to reflect and strengthen our own faith, so we can better serve those around us. St Francis of Assisi had a very special love for the poor. We are inspired by his love for the most vulnerable. St Francis of Assisi Pray for us!
