DIOCESE OF WINONA-ROCHESTER (Dioecesis Vinonaënsis-Roffensis)

Country : United States
Denomination : Roman Catholic

Established : 1889 as Diocese of Winona
renamed 2018 to Diocese of Winona-Rochester

Origin/meaning

The Indian word Winona means "Fairest daughter of the tribe". To Catholics this description is at once fulfilled by Our Lady; and her fairest symbol, the rose has been placed on a lozenge (used instead of a shield to signify the arms of a virgin or a widow) to heraldically represent the name of the diocese and its See City.

The cross is a general Christian symbol.
