===Origin/meaning=== | ===Origin/meaning=== | ||
As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop. | |||
The personal arms are of vair and thus canting for the name Vehr, the French vair similarly pronounced as the German Vehr. The chief shows a plough, taken from the arms of the [[Archdiocese of Cincinnati]], the archdiocese in which he was born. | |||
The motto, In vertiate et caritate, means In truth and charity. | |||
The achievement is completed with the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of bishop. | |||
