Origin/meaning
The upper third contains three charges of the Blessed Virgin Mary, patroness of the diocese. This dedication is represented in a field of blue, her traditional color. The silver heart is the Immaculate Heart of Mary. On the heart is the Rose of Sharon, a biblical title for Mary. The silver moon indicates Mary´s Immaculate Conception.
The central shows is the arms of Baron Friedrich Von Steuben, after which the city is named.

The lowest section indicates the spiritual seat or ´cathedra´ of the diocese, the Holy Name of Jesus Cathedral. It is indicated by a celestial crown of gold on a red disc. We see the Holy Name IHS on the crown. The three red pentacostal tongues of fire on a silver field refer to the Church´s evangelical mission (Saint-Luke 12:49).
