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 John J. Cassata's coat of arms honors the Holy Family, as Cassata is derived from the Italian casata, meaning family. The crescent moon honors Our Lady under the title of the Immaculate Conception and honors the bishop's schooling in St. Mary's Seminary and his ordination on the feast of the Immaculate Conception December 8. The star is symbolic of Texas, the Lone Star State, and the bishop's home state. The fleur-de-lis honors St. Joseph, the foster father of Jesus and the middle name patron of the bishop. The eagle is the symbol of St. John the Evangelist, the baptismal patron of Bishop Cassata.
