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 eagle with outstretched wings is the symbol of Bishop Quinn's baptismal-patron, St. John the Evangelist. The eagle clutches a snake in its left talon. This predatory grasp signifies sin and evil being overcome by this mighty word of God..
The green colour signifies hope and relates to Bishop Quinn's motto. The open book is a symbol of Bishop Quinn's vocation as a teacher of theology. The book also references Bishop Quinn's work in Catholic education. The shamrock overlaid on the book is a symbol of the Holy Trinity, the subject best associated with Bishop Quinn in his role as a seminary professor. The leaves of this particular shamrock are formed by three hearts, indicating the grace of the Triune God expressed in the theological virtue of love. The shamrock also represents St. Patrick, on whose feast Bishop Quinn was ordained to the priesthood.
The wavy bend represents the Detroit River. Bishop Quinn was born in the city of Detroit, and as part of the presbyterate of the Archdiocese of Detroit, he has invested himself in the life of its parishes and schools in the hope of creating a promising future for the city and its inhabitants.
The Celtic Cross behind the shield pays tribute to Bishop Quinn's Irish Catholic heritage.
The motto "REJOICE IN HOPE" reflect his _perennial optimism and characteristic good humor. Taken from the 12th verse of the 12th chapter of St. Paul's letter to the Romans, these words are part of the apostle's instruction about the personal sacrifice needed in serving God. Paul recommends the humble use of one's gifts for the benefit of the community, along with patience, prayer and fraternal charity.
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.
