 Bishop of Victoria |

| English | blazon wanted |
Origin/meaning
The Archbishop's personal coat of arms is impaled with the Archdiocesan coat of arms to indicate his office as Archbishop of Winnipeg.
The shield is partly inspired by the emblem of Bishop Gagnon's predecessor, Modeste Demers (1809-1871), the first Bishop of Vancouver Island. Bishop Demers and Bishop Gagnon are closely related via a collateral branch of the Demers family. Bishop Demers' emblem was red and gold and featured a gold Latin cross set on a mount with two figures praying at the base of the cross. These tinctures have been kept, as has the cross.
Since Bishop Gagnon was ordained on June 24th, the feast day of St John the Baptist, the two charges are gold Agnus Dei emblems, traditionally associated with St John the Baptist. This is also a reference to Bishop Gagnon's ancestral roots in Quebec.
The motto:"To Obey is to Serve in Love" is an expression of a very important part of his faith and a vision for his episcopate.
The achievement is completed with the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of bishop by instruction of the Holy See, of March 1969, confirmed in March 2001.
