Origin/meaning
The armorial bearings of Bishop Grob symbolize his origins, his personal devotion and the place in which he has spent his ministry as a priest. The field is Azure and the main charge is a large gold plow blade facing the viewer. This not only alludes to the ministry of spreading the Gospel as symbolized by plowing a field to prepare for seed to be sown but is an allusion to the bishop’s early life growing up on a Wisconsin dairy farm.
Above the plow blade are a silver crescent, a symbol of Our Lady under her title of the Immaculate Conception which is the patronal feast of the USA. The two silver fleur-de-lys represent several things. First, they are a symbol of St. Joseph to whom the bishop has a special devotion as a kind of patron saint because he was born on the Solemnity of St. Joseph (March 19). The fleur-de-lys is a stylized version of the lily and St. Joseph is often depicted holding a staff from which lilies are blossoming. Second, they allude to St. John XXIII who used them in his own coat of arms. The bishop has a devotion to this great 20th Century saint. Finally, there are two fleur-de-lys in the coat of arms of the Archdiocese of Chicago where the bishop has served as a priest and will now serve as a bishop.
The motto below the shield is “Jesus The Vine”
