Symbol Representation

The Crown refers to Christ the King whom we serve.

The Shield represents both the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary as well as the Shield of Faith that protects us from the arrows of the evil one.

The Cross reminds us of the Crucified Christ who has asked us to pick up our cross to follow him as priest, prophet and king in our family and community.

Red signifies the blood of Christ and that of the saints and martyrs who gave their lives in defending the truth and our faith.

Commitment as a Watchmen

In essence, we come together to Know Jesus – Love Jesus – Serve Jesus in our family and in our community.

8. How is this different from other church’s men’s group?
We have adapted our group structure from the US Catholic Watchmen in the Archdiocese of St Paul and Minneapolis and believe each group would share similar values but hold distinct characteristics unique to each country’s culture.
