The CFM symbol is made up of four component parts: the ancient sign for man, woman and child, with the Christian symbol for Christ, joined in beautiful harmony to form a single unit, indicating the most basic characteristic of the Christian family.
Christ – Superimposed upon the whole is the symbol for Christ, the “Chi Rho”, who holds the central place in the family unit.
Man – is shown with arms lifted up to God, standing as a tower of great strength, exemplifying his place as head of the family.
Woman – reaching toward the earth, beautifully demonstrating her likeness to the earth in her fertility – the place she holds in the divine plan of creation, fulfilled in the family unit.
Child – the circle, as a sign of life, represents the child, showing the closeness of the power of man and woman to God’s supreme power of creation.
The CFM symbol shows the Holy Family and a modern family, with the text “Christian Family Movement – CFM”. It depicts the family as an active agent of evangelization, participating in the mission of Jesus. With the model of the holy family to guide them, the CFM family is moving forth to bring the message and the love of Christ to a changing world. Father, Mother, Sons and Daughters are Christian emissaries to the world. This symbol was adopted in 2012.
