Official blazon
- (personal arms) Paly of seven, silver and gules, the second pale charged with a silver lily; on a chief gules a silver eagle issuing.
Origin/meaning
As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop.
Bishop Plagens' arms may be derived from the root-word plaga, which suggested the division of the field of his arms into seven stripes; his two name patrons, St. Joseph and St. Casimir, are indicated: the first by the lily, the second by the silver eagle on red of the old royal Polish arms (his family originates from Poland).
