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 upper most part of the bishop’s arms contain a gold tower which symbolizes a place of refuge, strength and of safety. The book serves to reference the bishop’s thirst for knowledge of things that concern God and His Church.
The blue fess serves to recall not only the blue in which Our Lady is traditionally depicted, but also of water.
The lion passant in the lowest part of the shield alludes to the strength and liveliness of His Excellency in all that he does, but most especially in defending the faith. This charge further seeks to reveal His Excellency’s strong devotion to Pope Saint Leo the Great that began to develop during the formation of his master’s thesis.
The red background, overall, calls to mind the blood of the martyrs.
The motto, “The Vision Will Not Disappoint” is from Habbakuk 2:3″
