As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop. | |||
The surname Freking is a north German spelling of the Dutch Van der Vreeken. The three cremailleres which are adjustable cooking instruments used in early open fireplaces are taken from the arms of a (non related) Vreeken family. | |||
The black cross in the middle symbolizes his priesthood and the time spent as spiritual director of the North American College in Rome. The Orsini rose is symbolic of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the baptismal name of his mother, the Winona diocese where he was ordained and the North American College in Rome which originally belonged to the Orsini family. | |||
The motto is taken from Psalm 24. | |||
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. | |||
