Country : United States
Denomination : Roman Catholic
Established : 1889 as Diocese of Winona
renamed 2018 to Diocese of Winona-Rochester
Official blazon
Origin/meaning
The Indian word Winona means "Fairest daughter of the tribe". To Catholics this description is at once fulfilled by Our Lady; and her fairest symbol, the rose has been placed on a lozenge (used instead of a shield to signify the arms of a virgin or a widow) to heraldically represent the name of the diocese and its See city.
The cross is a general Christian symbol.
