Sacred Heart Centre

Sacred Heart Centre

Address: 208 Romaine Street, Peterborough, ON, K9J 2C4

Motto

The motto is Caritas et Veritas, (“Charity and Truth”). The quotes below from the Catechism of the Catholic Church about Charity and Truth inspire the motto.

1822 Charity is the theological virtue by which we love God above all things for his own sake, and our neighbor as ourselves for the love of God.

2500 … truth carries with it the joy and splendor of spiritual beauty. Truth is beautiful in itself. Truth in words, the rational expression of the knowledge of created and uncreated reality, is necessary to man, who is endowed with intellect. But truth can also find other complementary forms of human expression, above all when it is a matter of evoking what is beyond words: the depths of the human heart, the exaltations of the soul, the mystery of God.

Coat of Arms

The Coat of Arms for Sacred Heart Centre incorporates a number of components – the devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus; a heart open to the world; the Cross of Our Lord; water and blood flowing from the side of Christ; hands embracing the Cross carrying it in the world as a sign of salvation; and the colours of red and gold are found in the Diocesan coat of arms.

“The Divine Heart is an ocean full of all good things, wherein poor souls can cast all their needs; it is an ocean full of joy to drown all our sadness, an ocean of humility to drown our folly, an ocean of mercy to those in distress, an ocean of love in which to submerge our poverty.”

St. Margaret Mary Alacoque
