The fleur-de-lys and the blue field honor the Blessed Virgin. Blue and gold are also the ancient heraldic colors of France. Both also commemorate the French ancestry of Louis Joliet after whom the diocese is named. The fleurs-de-lys are also from the arms of the [[Archdiocese of Chicago]] on which territory the diocese Joliet in Illinois was established. | The fleur-de-lys and the blue field honor the Blessed Virgin.
