100th Anniversary of the Apostolate of the Sea (STELLA MARIS

The pastoral ministry of the Catholic Church for seafarers, fishermen, and their families, Apostolato del Mare, celebrates the 100th anniversary of its foundation this year. It was in fact October 4, 1920, when in Glasgow (Scotland) a group of people decided to unify in a single work the assistance to seafarers carried out by different ecclesial organizations. Currently, the centers of the Apostolate of the Sea, located in over 300 ports in 55 countries, welcome hundreds of seafarers and fishermen far from their countries of origin every day, offering them "a home away from home". The leaflet, made from a design by Stefano Morri, portrays in the value of € 1.10 three sailors on a boat in fear of the sudden storm while invoking the Virgin Mary, depicted in the € 1 stamp. 15 according to the traditional iconography of the Stella Maris. The design is completed by the logo of the Apostolate of the Sea, consisting of an anchor intertwined with a life jacket with the Sacred Heart of Jesus in the center.
