Agrent, a cross throughout Gules, the quarter to chief dexter Azure, charged with a star of the first and in the quarter to chief sinister an eagle's head of the second.

Origin/meaning

Bishop Sheltz arms are composed of a "Cross of Saint George," and it is used here for the Bishop to honor his Baptismal patron.

The first quarter shows a blue field with a single silver star to honor the Bishop's home of Texas, 'The Lone Star State". The red Eagle's head in the second quarter honors St. Thomas High School, which had had such a significant impact on the bishop's life.

For his motto , His Excellency Bishop Sheltz has selected the phrase, 'Through Him with Him · In Him," from the Great Doxology of the Holy Mass. By its use, His Excellency expresses that as a Christian all that we have, all that we do and all that we are is from, in and through Jesus Ch1i st , the Savior of the world.

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.
