DIOCESE OF GREAT FALLS - BILLINGS (Dioecesis Magnocataractensis-Billingensis)

Country : United States
Denomination : Roman Catholic

Established : 1904

Arms (crest) of Diocese of Great Falls-Billings

Official blazon

Origin/meaning

The Diocese of Grand Falls used arms since 1904. These arms consisted of four pales blue-argent, symbolising falling water for Great Falls. The crosses counterchanged on the pales honor the Most Blessed Trinity. In chief a sun on argent reflects the fact that Great Falls is located opposite to the mouth of the Sun River.

In June 1980 the diocese of Great Falls became a dual See city, and was renamed in Great Falls-Billings. To commemerate this change, a small shield was added in the former design of Great Falls. This shield is divided per with in the upper half a trefoil to honor Saint-Patrick, the Irish saint, who is the patron of the co-cathedral in Billings; and in the lower half a pile azure. The golden sides that are left by cutting out the blue pile, give the illusion of rimrocks, the cliffs that surround the City of Billings.
