About ICCDFW
The Indonesian Catholic Community (ICC) is an informal organization formed on July 7, 2001. The group was established to serve Indonesian catholic families and individuals in the Dallas - Fort Worth and surrounding area in Texas to gather as a faith-based community. Members of the community, which currently number more than one hundred people, come from various backgrounds. Many of the members are professionals working in diverse fields such as engineering, information technology and finance but we also have entrepreneurs, teachers and students among us. Most of our members are young families, some with children ranging from babies to college students.
The community has scheduled meetings at least once a month, which usually take place on the first Saturday at the Holy Family Catholic Church in Irving. Sometimes the community also gathers at one of the members' house for special occasions. Although our organization is based on the catholic faith, we are open and welcome others who are non catholic to join us in our gatherings.
Some of the activities we have are prayer meetings, rosary, meditation, discussions, and holy masses. Because we do not have an Indonesian priest serving in the Dallas area, we usually invite priests from other city or state to celebrate the mass in Indonesian language. We also participate in the annual multi-cultural mass at the Holy Family Church. The community also has other social activities such as Christmas party, picnic and garage sale. In the future we plan to have more activities such as bible study, retreat and recollection.

ICC Logo
Most of you might ask "Is there a meaning behind the ICC logo?" Well, indeed there is.
Let us start with the circles. The circles represents our firendship within our community and beyond. It will be a continuing and never ending friendship full of Christ love. And so is our relationship to the Lord, His Son and the Holy Spirit. Why does the cirlce have different sizes? Imagine we dip our finger in a pond of water four times. We will see the ripple on the water as we dip our finger. By the time we dip the fourth time, the ripple from the first time we dipped our finger, has grown larger. So as we make the Sign of the Cross, we touch our forehead first (first ripple, the largest circle) the the center of our body (second ripple) and the left shoulder (third ripple) and finally the right shoulder (last ripple, the smallest circle). We see those circles connected by the dots which represents the order of how we make the Sign of the Cross. As we seal our selves with the Sign of the Cross we should also be the "ripple" to others and go beyond. We should bring the Good News to others. May our lives be a good and loving "ripple" effect to others around us.
As for the stripes in our logo, those represents our Journey of Faith as small steps. As we know our journey will have always "up and downs" but it will need to be always moving up to the Lord. As a verse in the Bible says "Narrow is the road to heaven" we acknowledge that our journey of faith can be difficult but we have the Holy Spirit to guide us (represented in the color red of the circle) in our journey.
As we continue in our Journey of Faith (the stairs), with the guidence of the Holy Spirit (color red) we will pray (Sign of the Cross) to the Lord, may His everlasting love be upon us and let us share His love to others (the circles).
