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 arms are based upon those of a Brossart de Kermant family used here to represent the name of the bishop. The chevron and the fleurs-de-lis were also charges on the arms of Monsignor Brossart's precessor Camillus Paul Maes whom, through affection, he desired to honor. The heart is taken directly from Bishop Maes's arms.

The achievement is completed with the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of bishop.
