The 51st IEC Official Logo
The Official Logo of the
51st International Eucharistic
Congress
The Sun symbolizes our hope of glory; it is a
symbol of a new beginning. It also symbolizes
the Philippines because the sun is the principal
symbol in the Philippine flag.
The seven rays of the sun symbolize the seven
gifts of the Holy Spirit. The cup and bread call
to mind the sacred species of the Holy
Eucharist.
The monogram “IHS” (Iesus Hominum Salvator)
symbolizes the Holy Name of Jesus. This also
symbolizes Cebu, since the former name of
Cebu was Villa del Santissimo Nombre de Jesus.
The boat, a common mode of transport in the Philippine Archipelago, is symbolic of the
missionary nature of the Church.
The people in the boat, each of a different color, symbolize the principles which have animated
the faith of the Filipino people; green for hope, which blooms in adversity, blue, the color of
faith which we cling to, and red, the color of charity, which urges us on. The aqua blue color of
the boat is reminiscent of the Christian pilgrimage to Heaven.
(The artist of the winning logo is a 19 year-old fine arts student, Jayson Jaluag from Mandaue City,
Cebu.)

IEC PRAYER
Lord Jesus Christ, our hope of glory,
You are the fulfilment of the Father’s plan
to save all humanity.
You are the mystery hidden from the ages
and from generations past,
now manifested to us.
You abide in your Church
and in the most holy sacrament
of the Eucharist.
As we celebrate the Holy Eucharist
and receive your Body and Blood,
grant us the awareness
that your presence in us
urges us to continue your saving mission
in the world.
Send us your Holy Spirit,
that He may lead us
to walk humbly
with the poor and the marginalized,
in the company of Mary,
your most holy mother and ours.
O Lord in the Most Blessed Sacrament,
To you be all honor and glory and praise
In the unity of the Father and the Holy Spirit
One God, forever and ever.
Amen.

The 51st IEC Symbol
The IEC 2016 Symbol
The Local Committee has chosen as symbol
of the 51st IEC a replica of the shrine that
houses the Cross of Magellan. It is chosen
for the following reasons:
1. The Cross of Magellan is the symbol of the
beginning of the Christianization of the
Philippines. It was planted as a
commemorative marker of the arrival of
Magellan together with the first missionaries
and the initial baptisms in the island of Cebu.
2. The Cross is the symbol of the hope that
we have in Jesus Christ.
3. The Cross is the symbol of the faith that
we embrace. This same faith allows us to
receive Jesus in the Holy Eucharist.
4. Although the Cross of Magellan may
represent the imposition of the faith on the
native Filipinos at the initial stage of
evangelization, the cross itself becomes the
symbol of the purification of our way of evangelization, so that it actually points to us the way
to the New Evangelization, marked by the joy of the Gospel and the witness of our lives.
The replica of the Shrine of the Cross of Magellan will contain a relic of the True Cross so that
when people welcome it in their communities; they will be venerating the relic.

The 51st IEC Venues
I. The Plenary Hall
The biggest challenge for the Local Committee is the construction of the Plenary Hall. The City
of Cebu does not have a covered place that can accommodate 15,000 persons. At the
beginning it was proposed that a big private warehouse be converted into a convention hall,
but the members of the
Committee preferred
that such a huge expense
should leave something
functional for the City
and the Church. A
private Company was
found to finance the
project and construct the
Hall on the grounds of
the Archdiocesan
seminaries. An
arrangement was made
in such a way that
neither the Archdiocese
nor the IEC will have to
spend anything on the
project but that land
owned by the
Archdiocese will be
leased later, after the Congress, for the Company to recover its investment.
The cost of the Plenary Hall is estimated at P500 million pesos (about 9.5 million Euro). It will
be financed entirely by the private Company. Funds raised for the IEC will not be used for the
project, except for site development of the seminary premises.

The Design Brief:
The International Eucharistic Congress Pavilion has been designed, with all pragmatic and
performative requirements in mind, to evoke a sense of importance, but at the same time belie
any hint of caprice and grandeur. These seemingly contradicting characteristics have been
thoroughly discussed,
debated and synthesized
so as to achieve a place
worthy to be used for the
congregation of the
servants of Christ. While
symbolisms and
meanings were
employed, these were
executed in such a
manner that they would
become sublime integral
elements of the structure. Thus allowing the observer to take time and effort to discern these
meanings...much like what is required of us in our search for God.
Proportions and Shape
The overall shape of the building is much dictated by the form of the plan. The massive front
wall is simply softened by vertical lines in the order of the Fibonacci series, a numerical
equivalent of the Golden Proportion. The lines are then further diffused by horizontal lines in
order to create a dynamic display of planar shapes. The wall is capped by a curved coping to
sublimely mimic the roof of the kiosk of Magellan’s Cross. Said curved coping is repeated at the
shorter wall on the building’s left side. Thus, completing a three-dimensional imagery of such
an important icon of Cebu.

II. Cebu Doctors’ University
This private University was chosen for the Symposium. It has a 1800-seat auditorium and
eight more amphitheatre-style rooms capable of holding between 100 to 200 people.
51st International Eucharistic Congress | 10III. The Cebu Waterfront Hotel
The Waterfront Hotel, a four-star hotel within a 20-minute walk to and from the Plenary
Hall, will serve as the main hotel for the dignitaries of the Congress. Two of its main halls,
capable of accommodating 2,000 to 3,000 thousand persons each, will serve as venues for
the concurrent sessions.
51st International Eucharistic Congress | 11IV. Plaza Independencia
The Opening Mass will be held in historic Plaza Independencia. It is in the heart of the
City’s historic district.
51st International Eucharistic Congress | 12V. Cebu Provincial Capitol
The Provincial Capitol will serve as backdrop of the Eucharistic Celebration just before the
Eucharistic Procession, which will proceed through the city’s main thoroughfare, Osmena
Boulevard.
51st International Eucharistic Congress | 13VI. Cebu City Sports Center
The City Sports Center will be the venue for the Children’s Mass, where 5,000 children will
receive their First Holy Communion.
51st International Eucharistic Congress | 14VII. Hoops Dome
Located about 30 kilometers from the City Center, it is a covered Sports Arena that will host
the Youth Day of the Congress. Five thousand young people are expected to attend.
VIII. South Road Properties
South Road Properties or SRP is a reclaimed island off the coast of Cebu. Part of the 330
hectare island is a 20 hectare field where the National Thanksgiving Mass for the
beatification of St. Pedro Calungsod was held in 2012. It was attended by 500,000 people.
The field can easily accommodate a million people for the Statio Orbis.
