As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop. | |||
The tower and the dog are canting elements, the name of the Bishop is of German origin and can be tanslated as 'dog-houses'. A castle used in pursuing the hunt where the hunting hounds were lodged. | |||
The centertower of the castle supports a gold cross bottony taken from the coat-of-arms of Carroll College, Helena, where Archbishop Hunthausen was a student, professor, and president. | |||
In honor of the family of his mother, Archbishop Hunthausen has his shield divided, or sheared, into two tinctures in a line like one made with a pinking shears. This represents Mrs. Hunthausen's maiden name, Tuchscherer: in German, a shearer of cloth. | |||
The motto, chosen when he was consecrated Bishop of Helena, is from the Lord's Prayer, "Fiat Volunta Tua" -- "Thy Will Be Done." | |||
