As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop.
 
The silver bar withe a black table on which is displayed a gold chalice and silver host, for the Eucharist, the central feature of priestly ministry. These charges are used to signify that the table, in the home and as an altar, are where family gathers and it has always been the most important place for the Cantú family and for the family of Christ.
 
The golden bishop’s crosier and a simple silver abbot’s veiled crosier are to honour Saint Ansgar, who served God’s church as a Benedictine abbot before he was called to become Bishop of Hamburg. Abbots used a veiled crosier because in ancient days bishop’s worn gloves at certain ceremonies which abbots did not and the veil was to keep the abbot’s hands clean for worship.
 
The motto “ZELUS DOMUS TUAE COMEDIT ME”, taken from the 69th Psalm expresses the Bishop’s firm belief that in all that he does for God the “zeal for the Lord’s house consumes me.”
 
The achievement is completed with the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of bishop by instruction of the Holy See, of March 1969, confirmed in March 2001.
