Origin/meaning
Ancient and modern symbols combine in the coat of arms of Bishop Dominic A. Marconi. An interesting modern touch among the traditional heraldic symbols is the cross composed of radio waves to recall that it was another Marconi who invented the wireless.
The fleur-de-lis in the upper left denotes the bishop’s devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. The dog is in honor of his baptismal patron, St. Dominic, whose mother, according to tradition, dreamed before his birth that she brought forth a dog with a torch in his mouth. The dog, then becomes a symbol of the Hound of Heaven.
The wagon wheel in the lower left represents the process of aging the spokes are the various stages of life which make a complete cycle. The symbol appears on his shield for Bishop Marconi’s work as co-director of the Division of Services to the Elderly of the Newark Archdiocese, and for his 10 years as chaplain to the elderly and blind at St. Joseph’s Home, Jersey City.
he chi-rho with entwined circles in the lower right is the symbol-of the Family Life Apostolate which he served and directed. The circles stand for the husband and wife who in the sacrament of marriage are joined in Christ, represented by the chi-rho.
Bishop Marconi chose the motto, “Fidelity Through Service,” because, in his words, “I see my whole role as a priest and bishop as one of faithfulness to God’s people".
