Origin/meaning
As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop.
Bishop Parkes has chosen to represent his family heritage and the dioceses in which he was ordained and served as a Priest and as a Bishop. The three stag heads are drawn directly from the Parkes family arms, and signify peace, purity and strength. The stag heads are red to symbolize strength, nobility and fairness.
The lower half includes elements found on the shields of the Diocese of Orlando and the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee. The red Chi-Rho is taken from the two first letters of the Greek word for Christ, the Son of God and the center of all Christian faith; it honors the Diocese of Orlando. The Sacred Heart honors the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee; it represents the titular Cathedral of the Diocese located in Pensacola.
The motto: "Nomini Tuo Do Gloriam" ("To Your Name, Give Glory") is taken from Psalm 115.
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.
