Today, people have a need to build sustainable networks and stay connected as they move toward the future—and this applies to the sisters, their institutions, and the staff at Hegne Abbey as well. In the future, a new logo will more clearly express their affiliation with the international Congregation of the Sisters of the Cross.
The cross logo was designed in 2000 by Gielia Degonda, a Swiss Sister of the Cross and artist. In the center, it reveals the shape of the Sisters’ cross and is open in all four directions.
“Many of the 16 provinces and vicariates of the Sisters of the Cross are already using this logo of the worldwide community. Against this backdrop, the sisters and leaders at the Hegne convent have also decided to adopt it,” said Sister Susanne Bader, Provincial Superior at the Hegne convent. “This is also in line with the General Administration’s desire in Ingenbohl to strengthen our shared identity. It is a powerful symbol of our connection to all 2,600 sisters worldwide, as well as to their staff and institutions.”
“The new logo for the Kloster Hegne brand will give it a fresh look and also enhance its global presence. It will reaffirm the Sisters of the Cross’s roots,” adds Prof. Dr. Florian Kluger, managing director and chairman of the foundation at Kloster Hegne. According to Kluger, the introduction of the new logo for the sisterhood, its businesses, and facilities, as well as the redesign of the websites, are part of a longer-term process that is being implemented step by step. The focus is clearly on a Franciscan, sustainable approach to resource management.
