Origin/meaning
This is more a logo as a proper coat of arms.
The strange wall op top of the shield (?) refers to the city of Poznań, Poland. Bishop Fisher's maternal great grandfather and great grandmother were both born in villages close to Poznan.
The pine cone refers to his Baptismal patron, St. Robert Bellarmine (1542 -1621) who was an Italian, Jesuit Cardinal and one of the most important figures of the Counter-Reformation. The pine cone is found on the Bellarmine family arms as well as on the arms of the Roman College (Gregorian) of which he was the once the rector. In Christian symbolism, the pine cone is seen as the crown of the Tree of Life and humanity. For ancient Romans, the evergreen pine tree symbolized long-suffering, steadfast friendship, and an enduring good reputation. In this context, the pinecone can also reference the White Pine tree of the State of Michigan, of which Bishop Fisher is a native.
The base is meant to express water, in particular the glacial waters that carved out the Great Lake Huron where he has a residence. Bishop Fisher also served as Director of Camping Services for the Catholic Youth Organization which maintains summer camps for youth on Lake Huron. The three fish are a canting element. They represent the Holy Trinity. The pattern also generates an image of "the fisherman's net." Bishop Fisher was Director of the Vocations Office of the Archdiocese of Detroit for five years.
The motto 'Per Caritatem Servite Invicem' is taken from Paul's letter to the Galatians, chapter 5, verse 13.
