DUMNGEG....
PRESENTING THE OFFICIAL LOGO OF THE NATIONAL EVANGELIZATION AND CATECHETICAL MONTH 2026
"DUMNGEG (Listen): Synodal Journey for ONE Mission"
With great joy, we unveil the official logo of this year's National Evangelization and Catechetical Month (NECM) 2026.
The logo beautifully expresses the heart of this year's theme, "Dumngeg (Listen): Synodal Journey for ONE Mission." The Ilocano word "Dumngeg" means "Listen", inviting every catechist, evangelizer, and member of the faithful to open their hearts to God's Word, to the promptings of the Holy Spirit, and to one another as we journey together in faith.
At the center of the logo is the ear, symbolizing the Church's call to become a listening community. The Cross reminds us that authentic listening is always rooted in Jesus Christ, while the flowing lines and circles represent the People of God walking together in communion, participation, and mission.
May this logo inspire us to become a Church that listens before it speaks, accompanies before it leads, and journeys together in proclaiming the Good News.
Let us all unite in celebrating the National Evangelization and Catechetical Month 2026 and continue building a synodal Church that listens, journeys together, and shares in Christ's one mission.
