The sheaf of wheat principally symbolizes the Eucharist, the presence of the Lord in the Eucharistic Bread which feeds our souls but it also wants to recall the farming character of the Midwest, the area where Bishop Kemme comes from; it is gold, symbol of the first Virtue, the Faith: indeed, is for Faith that we believe in the Eucharistic mystery.

CARL ALAN KEMME
Born : August 14, 1960
Deceased :
Bishop of Wichita, 2014-present
Official blazon
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 personal part of the shield is in red, the colour of love, of blood, then symbol of the infinite love of the Father Who sent the Son to shed His blood for us, extreme act of love; the chevron signifies the rafter which holds the roof of the church, having then a meaning of protection. In addition, the golden chevron appears on a (non related) Kemme family's coat of arms.
The sheaf of wheat principally symbolizes the Eucharist, the presence of the Lord in the Eucharistic Bread which feeds our souls but it also wants to recall the farming character of the Midwest, the area where Bishop Kemme comes from; it is gold, symbol of the first Virtue, the Faith: indeed, is for Faith that we believe in the Eucharistic mystery. The seven pointed star is the symbol of Our Blessed Mother: it is in silver colour of the purity of the Virgin Mary to Whom Bishop Kemme entrusts his pastoral service as Bishop of Wichita.
