LEE ANTHONY PICHÉ

Born : May 8, 1958
Deceased :

Auxiliary Bishop of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, 2009-2015; Titular Bishop of Tamata

Origin/meaning

The blue chief honors the Blessed Virgin Mary. Like the sapphire in the cross, it represents philosophic truth and the bishop's role as teacher. The fleur-de-lis represents Our Lady of Lourdes, it is silver and gold for her purity and motherhood.

The gold wings are a symbol of St. Michael the Archangel in his role as Prince of the Heavenly Hosts and guardian of the honer of Mary. Together, the silver and gold used in the chief symbolize faithfulness to the Holy See.

The sword represents St. Paul, the patron of the archdiocese. The Pauline symbol also commemorates the Year of St. Paul, during which Bishop Piché was named a bishop. His ordination was also on the feast of Sts. Peter and Paul. The sword is inflamed, which represents St. Paul's passion for the Word of God and preaching, as well as the truth found in the Scriptures.

The open book of Wisdom is a symbol of St. Anthony of Padua, who is the patron of Bishop Piche's middle name. "Sapientia" is Latin for "wisdom," and also represents the goal of each bishop.

The motto "Lucerna Pedi Meo Verbum Tuum" translates to "Your word is a lamp for my feet," which is found in Psalm 119: 105.
