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". | |||
