THE CALL TO SOCIAL TRANSFORMATION

You are the salt of the earth, You are the light of the world; (Matthew 5:13-14)

The convention's theme seeks to place under its umbrella relevant and contemporary social issues, and what the response of a Catholic should be. Social transformation is the conversion of society into a community guided by love, in which the power of the resurrection is witnessed in righteousness, justice, liberty and solidarity according to God's plan.

At the base of the logo is a red lamp from which the yellow flame burns. A green spiral sphere completes the composition. The red lamp takes off from last convention's theme "A Call to Love", with red symbolizing an outpouring of love as the moving and changing power in a call to Social Transformation. A PREX graduate is called upon to be the "salt of the earth" and the "light of the world". From the abundance of the heart, a PREX graduate is called upon to be an agent of change in the society he lives in. Not only change simply for change sake, but a moral obligation and duty to transform society through the word of God, represented in the logo by the yellow flame. The green spiral sphere represents the world and society. Green also symbolizes the environment which is God's gift to man, to be cared and nurtured by a judicious and worthy caretaker. As agents of social transformation, the challenge for every PREX graduate is to be a witness to the transformative power of God's word in the concrete.
