The arms are composed of a red field on which is displayed a gold cross of "The Faith," to signify the name of the See city, "Holy Faith". The upper left quarter shows a tower triple­ towered, of Castile (referring to Spain).

Issuant from the base are the crossed arms of Christ and St. Francis of Assisi, a classic representation of St.Francis, to honor the titular of the Cathedral in the City of Santa Fe.

The red and gold are traditional Spanish colors, signifying that the area around Santa Fe was, for a long time, a Spanish Colony_
