50th Anniversary Logo
The winning logo has been drawn by Cristina Casanovas Montemayor from the community "Two rivers" in Barcelona, Spain. Cristina has Down's syndrome and has been a member of her Faith and Light community for many years. Take note of the Triad depicted in the logo!
The winning theme is "A treasure to share" from community "Graines de Moutarde", in Ville d'Avray, France.
All of us will use the logo and the theme during all celebrations, events, and meetings related to our 50th anniversary.
Preparing for the Summer 2021 Pilgrimage
What Is A Triad?
A triad in Faith and Light consists of a core member, family members, and friends. From Never Again Alone by Marie-Helene Mathieu, describing the original pilgrimage in 1971: "First of all, we would not make a pilgrimage for people with intellectual disabilities, but with them. Secondly, in order that the parents would not find themselves alone once more with their children we would invite friends, especially young people, to accompany them." Therefore we are asking that communities establish their triads and begin to meet with their families and friends starting as soon as possible to make the most of the celebration that will occur July 8-11, 2021 .
