MANUEL AURELIO CRUZ
Born : December 2, 1953
Deceased :
Auxiliary Bishop of Newark, 2008-present; Titular Bishop of Gaguari
| English | blazon wanted |
Origin/meaning
The arms are composed of a silver (white) field on which is placed a red Latin cross to tilize His Excellency's name (Cruz), which ls Spanish for "cross."
Upon the cross is a blue "M." The letter is taken from the arms of Pope John Paul II and is the monogram of the Blessed Virgin Mary, to whom Bishop Cruz has a deep and profound devotion. It also recognizes Our Lady as the patroness of Immaculate Conception Seminary, where Bishop Cruz studied for the priesthood.
"Caritas" is the goal toward which Bishop Cruz has directed his priestly ministry, especially his pastoral care work in the healthcare ministries throughout the Archdiocese of Newark. The motto also has a special significance to the bishop, for it is the name of his mother (Caridad) who, with husband Juan, brought the family to the United States from Cuba in 1966.
