===Origin/meaning=== | ===Origin/meaning=== | ||
As common in US ecclesiastical heraldry, the arms show the arms of the Archdioces impaled with the personal arms of the bishop. | |||
The blue cross fleury is taken from the arms of the [[Archdiocese of Saint Louis]], where the Archbishop served 24 years as a priest. The golden crescent is taken from the arms of the [[Diocese of Springfield in Illinois]], where the Archbishop served 10 years as Bishop. | |||
The winged bull is the symbol of St. Luke, and thus a canting element. The red colour is taken as a symbol for St. George. | |||
