Origin/meaning
The background of the personal arms is blue in honor of our Blessed Lady, and the rose a symbol of Our Lady of Humility from the North American College in Rome, where Bishop Ott studied.
The chevron is emblematic of the Mississippi River and of the carpenter's plane. Bishop Ott was born in Gretna, La., near the banks of the Mississippi River, and the carpenter's plane honors St. Joseph, the Bishop's patron saint (as well as the patron of the Diocese of Baton Rouge in the new arms).
A key and sword are symbolic of Sts. Peter and Paul.
The lily in the upper left of the first arms is that of the Blessed Virgin Mary to whom the Bishop has special devotions The one on the upper right refers to Saint Stanislaus Kostka, his patron saint, who was renowned for his purity.
The otter is a canting element for the Ott name.
After becoming bishop of Baton Rouge the arms were changed, but most of the above symbolism remained.
At the bottom of the new arms is now a baseball, linking the sports appreciative Bishop Ott with his famous second cousin, major league Hall of Famer Mel Ott of the then New York Giants.
The motto Lux in Domino means Light in the Lord.
