The shield is divided into two sections by a chevron. The upper half contains a "peace dove" which is a symbol from the arms of the [[Diocese of Saint Catherines]], Bishop Calli's place of birth. The dove also represents Bishop Calli's first name which is "Frederick" and means "peaceful ruler."
 
The Lily represents the Blessed Virgin Mary who was a faithful servant of God, and whose words are the motto of Bishop Calli's crest, "Holy is God's Name," from Mary's great prayer, the Magnificat.
 
The lower part of the arms contains a red cross, showing that a bishop is a servant of Jesus and the three hills in base represent the bishop's surname, "Colli", which means "hills".
