JAMES THOMAS SCHUERMAN
Born : April 5, 1957
Deceased :
Auxiliary Bishop of Milwaukee, 2017-present; Titular Bishop of Girba
Official blazon
Azure, two bars gemel, Or and Gules, between in chief a cross, in center a Sacred Heart and in base an escallop, all Argent, the heart enflamed and entwined of the second.
Origin/meaning
Bishop Schuerman's design is composed of a blue field on which are seen two red bars gemel, that is outlined top and bottom with gold. This symbolism is the basis of the arms of Saint Francis de Sales, one of Bishop Schuerman's particular patrons.
Interspersed within the two bars are: in chief a cross, in the center a Sacred Heart and in base an escallop. The cross is of The Faith, the Sacred Heart is to honor The Divine Lord and the escallop is the classic charge for Saint James: the Bishop's Baptismal Patron.
For his motto, His Excellency, Bishop Schuerman has adopted the Latin phrase "CHRISTUS LUX NOSTRA' This phrase is that which is chanted as the Paschal Candle is processed into the church, during the Easter Vigil Service, express that for all Christians, that as a guide for our lives, "Christ [is] Our Light:'
The achievement is completed with the external ornaments that are a gold processional cross, that extends above and below the shield and a pontifical hat, called a galero, with its six tassels, in three rows, on either side of the shield, all in green. These are the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of bishop by instruction of the Holy See, of March 1969.
