Origin/meaning
As common in Australian episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop.
The bishop is of Vietnamese descent, which is symbolised in the arms.
The gold and red wavy bar is a reference to the Flag of South Vietnam and symbolises the struggles and hardships endured for the sake of our freedom and faith. The blue field represents Australia which embraces Vietnamese refugees with generosity. The red waves surrounded by the blue background also symbolise the painful journey to freedom by boat on the part of many former Vietnamese refugees. In spiritual realm, they signify the exodus that each Christian is called to make.
The three gold plates represent the Trinity surrounding us in our struggles and hardships. They are each decorated. The Southern Cross also represents Australia. The Franciscan Coat of Arms (the cross with the hands) represents the Order of Friars Minor Conventuals, to whom the bishop belongs, whose spirituality is oriented towards total conformity to the poor, the suffering and the crucified Christ.
The red anchor symbolises Christ our refuge in times of trial and our faith journey into the deep.
