Origin/meaning

The new arms were adopted in 2024.

The main patrons are the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Joseph, which are shown in the old arms and in the new arms by the fleur-de-lys and the monogramme. The two buildings in the old arms are the cathedral and the seminary.

The old motto means "Let all be one".
