Arms of David Joseph Bonnar

Official blazon

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 chequy blue and silver bar on the personal arms appears in the Diocese of Pittsburgh's coat of arms representing his diocese of origin.
The seven point blue star recalls the Blessed Virgin Mary whom Bishop Bonnar entrusts his new pastoral ministry.
The pomegranate represents the motto of the Bishop that all the grains of this fruit are united in an only body the mystical body of the Church.

The field of gold the first among the noble metals, symbolizes the first of the virtues - the faith - which makes all believe in the salvation given by the Lord.
