The golden ring taken from the arms of the [[Diocese of Rapid City]] and expresses the bishop's appreciation for the blessings received there, especially those which come to the Church from rural life and Native American culture, traits also found in his new diocese. The green field recognizes those who live and work in the vast expanse of ranch and farm lands. The gold circle, the sacred circle, honors the Native American people and their belief that all things in life and in nature are interdependent. Like a circle, which has no beginning and no end, life is one. Each part of creation works with all the other parts to comprise this unity, as is the case with the Church; though many parts, we are all one Body.

Using the Chi-Rho works well with the motto which Bishop Cupich has chosen. "Peace be with you" were the first words of the Risen Christ to his disciples. They are also the first words a bishop speaks to the assembly when he presides at liturgical celebrations. With this motto Bishop Cupicl1 states that all his ministry as bishop has meaning through and in the peace of Christ. | Using the Chi-Rho works well with the motto which Bishop Cupich has chosen.
