As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop. | |||
The Reh family is of German origin. The deer head symbolises the (German)name of the bishop (reh=roe deer) and the lily is for Our Lady, patroness of the [[Pontifical North American College]] in Rome where bishop Reh studied and was ordained priest and where he later served and vicerector and rector. The lily is also a symbol of Saint-Joseph and has further significance to bishop Reh, who as a professor at Saint-Josephs Seminary in New York and later as rector there, took an important role in educating priests. | |||
The gold Orsini Rose between the antlers is derived from the coat of arms of the Italian Orsini family, who built and founded a convent on the Via dell´Umilta, later established as the Pontifical North American College by the USA-hierarchy in 1859. | |||
The motto is probably taken from a prayer composed by Pope Clemens XI. | |||
The achievement is completed with the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of bishop by instruction of the Holy See, of March 1969, confirmed in March 2001. | |||
