JOSEPH ROBERT BINZER
Born : April 26, 1955
Deceased :
Auxiliary Bishop of Cincinnati, 2011-present
Official blazon
Per pale Gules and Or a chevron between three crosses botonny fitchy counterchanged.
Origin/meaning
The chevron in the middle of the shield resembles a carpenter's square and represents St. Joseph, the bishop's baptismal patron. The three crosses and the colors red and gold come from the coat of arms of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati and reflect the bishop's roots and service in the archdiocese.
The green hat with twelve tassels and the processional cross, which accompany the shield, are the insignia of a bishop in the heraldry of the Catholic Church.
The bishop's motto "Hope in the Lord," inscribed below the shield, is a quotation from Psalm 131 (v. 3).
