Diocese of Kalookan
Coat of Arms
The three (3) major symbols of the Coat of Arms of the Diocese represent the three (3) jurisdictions that comprise the Diocese of Kalookan namely:
The Monument at the very center represents Kalooakan City
from which the name of the Diocese was derived.
The Fishes on the right represent the City of Malabon; and
The Banca on the left represents the City of Navotas.
The red color of the lower half of the insignia symbolizes
not only the valor of martyrdom of our Philippine heroes
with which Kalookan is noted for, but more importantly,
the sanguine ardour, fortitude and love of the Diocese of
Kalookan in the fulfillment of her mission.
The blue color of the upper half of the insignia denotes
the Marian Character of the diocesan ministry.
The Cross on top of the insignia signifies the centrality
of Jesus Christ in the life and function of the
entire Diocese of Kalookan while the dove, hovering
above the monument, represents the Holy Spirit
sanctifying the lives of the people of God - the
bishop, priests, religious men and women and the
laity - in the new diocese.
The theme, the latin words: "DUC IN ALTUM"
(Lk: 5:4) - "put out into the deep" - binds
together all the elements of the insignia and
captures the spirit and direction of the Diocese of
Kalookan in the Third Christian Millenium.
