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 chevron signifies the rafter which holds the roof of the church; thus, it possesses a meaning of protection. The scallop shells, symbolize the pilgrimage of the Church on earth; there are three to recall the Holy Trinity and baptism into the life of the Holy Trinity.
Bishop Fernandes’ is the son if immigrants from India, a nation renowned for its tradition of peace and non-violence. Bishop Fernandes was a priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. The red plow, appearing on his personal coat of arms, also appears on the Coat of Arms of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. It recalls the Roman hero, Cincinnatus (c. 519- c. 430 BCE), who was requested by senators to abandon the fields he was plowing, to lead the Roman soldiers against hostile neighbors who wanted to invade Rome. Besides this, the plow inspires a sentiment of peace, serenity, and good and laborious work amid the beauty of creation. Never more than now is this atmosphere necessary.
For his episcopal motto Bishop Fernandes has chosen words taken from a famous short prayer of the Servant of God, Monsignor Luigi Giussani, the founder of the lay ecclesial movement Communion and Liberation, with which Bishop Fernandes remains close: “Veni Sancte Spiritus, veni per Mariam” (“Come Holy Spirit, come through Mary”).
The achievement is completed with the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of bishop.
