The EOORC logo symbolizes the natural beauty in EOORC. The maple tree, and green landscape of forests and fields that run through the entire area of Eastern Ontario and Outaouais are symbolic of the ever-growing love of God for all people which EOORC holds dear.

The golden cross represents the sun, a guiding light for EOORC members as we go out, and, with the Light of Christ, we do not go alone.
