As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the archdiocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop. | |||
The personal arms of Archbishop Jerome Hanus displays the open scriptures, indicating the translation by St. Jerome to Latin (Vulgate). Jerome was the name given the Archbishop in monastic profession. <br> | |||
The field of red on the arms recalls St. George of England, the bishop’s baptismal name. The gold cross above the book is often used in Benedictine arms. | |||
The gold fleur-de-lis below the book is taken from the arms of Conception Abbey in Missouri, where the Archbishop served as abbot from 1977 to 1987. | |||
The motto, “Prodesse Magis Quam Praeesse,” attributed to St. Augustine, is taken from the Rule of St. Benedict. It translates as “to profit (the people) more than to preside.” | |||
