RMG – Official logo of the 150th anniversary of the First Salesian Missionary Expedition launched

30 January 2024

(ANS – Turin) – Cardinal Ángel Fernández Artime, Rector Major, has confirmed the choice of the logo for the celebration of the 150th anniversary of the First Salesian Missionary Expedition. Thirteen provinces submitted their proposals to the logo competition, organised by the Missions Sector, from which a six-member commission selected the best logo according to predetermined criteria. The winning logo comes from the Czech Province of St John Bosco (CEP), and is the work of artist Martina Mončeková.

The artist wanted to represent the globe crossed by waves which symbolise courage and new challenges, but also energy and boldness. At the centre is a ship, symbol of the First Salesian Missionary Expedition, on whose sail there is a reference to the Salesian logo and, at the same time, the fire of a renewed missionary enthusiasm. The shape of the wheel alludes to unity and mutual connection.

The logo may be used from today for preparations for the 2025 anniversary, but only in the official version without making any changes or alterations to any part of the logo. The logo is available to anyone in the five language variants and in different formats. It can be downloaded below, or requested by email at This email address is being protected from spambots.
