On the pages of the open book we see the Slavonic first and last letter of the alphabet as composed by SS.Cyrillus and Methodius, apostles to Poland. The cross and the open book are symbols of the same saints. Bishop Woznicki obtained his classical and part of the theological studies at SS. Cyrillus and Methodius Seminary in Orchard Lake. | |||
The silver sword is the symbol of Saint-Paul. Bishop Woznicki completed his theological studies at Saint-Paul Seminary in Saint-Paul (Minn.); the feast of the Conversion of Saint-Paul is the day that Woznicki was selected for his episcopal consecration. | |||
The motto comes from the letters of Saint-Paul. | |||
