You are faithful
in all that you do for the brothers. . . .
The Apostleship of the Sea is the
missionary
work of the Catholic Church
establishing Stella Maris Seafarers' Centres throughout
Australia and the rest of the world to care for
the people of the sea: the pastoral, social, and material
welfare of all seafarers and fishers
regardless of their country or culture.
Beloved, you are
faithful in all that you do for the
brothers, even though they are strangers to
you; they have testified to your love before
the church. You will do well to help them in
a way worthy of God as they continue their
journey. (3 Jn 1:5-6)
The centrepiece of the Apostleship of the
Sea's badge is the
image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus' radiating
love. The rays radiating from the heart
symbolise the apostles who take his love to
seafarers. The words, Apostolatus Maris,
written on the life buoy signify the saving work of the Apostolate
while in the background is an anchor, symbol
of hope and salvation for a ship in troubled
waters.
