Origin/meaning
As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the archdiocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop.
The personal arms of Archbishop Jerome Hanus displays the open scriptures, indicating the translation by St. Jerome to Latin (Vulgate). Jerome was the name given the Archbishop in monastic profession.
The field of red on the arms recalls St. George of England, the bishop’s baptismal name. The gold cross above the book is often used in Benedictine arms.
The gold fleur-de-lis below the book is taken from the arms of Conception Abbey in Missouri, where the Archbishop served as abbot from 1977 to 1987.
The motto, “Prodesse Magis Quam Praeesse,” attributed to St. Augustine, is taken from the Rule of St. Benedict. It translates as “to profit (the people) more than to preside.”
