Father Joe's Villages 2014 Annual Report (1) | Page 3
As we turn a page in our organization’s history, we are proud to reveal a new
symbol reflecting who we are, what we do and what we believe.
The new logo we have chosen is rich with symbolism and designed to
capture the very essence of our organization. Like the services we provide,
this image functions on many levels.

A NEW IMAGE FOR A BRIGHT FUTURE
01
As a whole, it can be seen as a star, a beacon of hope to those in despair, or
a sun, the symbol of a new and brighter future. Its eight points represent the
biblical number for wholeness, our wish for all those we serve.
At the center lies the cross, a symbol of the faith and call to service that
continues to inspire and influence all that we do. If you look more closely,
you’ll notice that each point within the image is shaped like a home.
Individually, these homes represent our goal of safe and stable housing for
each of our clients, and collectively, the homes represent a village – our
Village – a community that responds with compassion to those most in need
among us.
As Father Joe’s Villages, this new symbol speaks of our collective effort
on behalf of San Diego’s neighbors in need, representing our united
commitment to prevent and end homelessness one life at a time and
awaken the human spirit. Our new logo illustrates the very best of what we
do and the higher calling to which we aspire.
