Origin/meaning
As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop.
The sword is symbolic of St. Paul the Apostle and his family name, the open book, his apostolate of education. The carpenter's square is that of St. Joseph the Workman, patron of the Diocese of La Crosse and the universal church.
St. John the Evangelist, represented by an eagle, was Bishop Paul's patron.
The three lilies at the bottom are symbolic of both the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Joseph.
His motto is taken from St. Paul's farewell message letter to the Ephesians 6:23: Caritas Cum Fide, Love with Faith.
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.
