JEFFREY ROBERT HAINES

Born : October 6, 1958
Deceased :

Auxiliary Bishop of Milwaukee, 2017-present; Titular Bishop of Thagamuta

Official blazon

Gules, two eagle heads, couped and respecting Argent, upon a pile issuant from chief of the second a formy of the first.

Origin/meaning

Bishop Haines' design is composed of a red field on which are seen two silver eagle heads couped and respecting. The eagle heads are employed because of the Bishop's deep honor and respect for Confirmational patron, Saint John, the Evangelist, and that Saint John is the titular of the Cathedral Church in Milwaukee, where His Excellency will receive Episcopal Ordination and which parish he served as Rector at the time of his call to become a bishop.

Issuant from the chief of the device, upon a silver pile is a red cross formy that is a repositioning of the background field of the arms of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, that is known as "gyronny".

For his motto, His Excellency, Bishop Haines has adopted the phrase "AND BEHOLD I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS;' from the 20th verse of the 28th chapter of Saint Matthew's Gospel. It is at this point that Christ sends his disciples into the world, so that the world may come to believe in Him, as the Lord, knowing that through it all, Christ is with those sent to teach The Truth of The Gospel.

The achievement is completed with the external ornaments that are a gold (yellow) processional cross, that extends above and below the shield and a pontifical hat, called a galero, with its six tassels, in three rows, on either side of the shield, all in green. These are the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of bishop by instruction of the Holy See, of March 1969.
