Origin/meaning
As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop.
The main charge of the personal arms is the tongues of fire, represents the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of Life, and the source of every good deed. The gold crosses on the upper part of the shield are taken from the arms of the Diocese of Pittsburgh of which Bishop Dattilo is a native.
Red represents fire and commemorates the coming of the Holy Spirit. Gold is the emblem of the sun, and of divinity.
The motto, taken from 1 Peter 3:8-11, reflects Bishop Dattilo's conviction that the Christian message achieves its most powerful expression when people.
