- Roman_Catholic_Diocese_of_Fort_Wayne-South_Bend symbolism "The crescent moon represents the Virgin Mary, mother of Christ, “clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet.” As the Immaculate Conception, she is patroness of the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend, and its cathedral in Fort Wayne. The three crosses represent the Blessed Trinity. The Father sent the Son into the world; the Son sent the Spirit. It was this mission of Son and Spirit through missionaries that brought this diocese into being. The crosses replace swords on the family crest of General Anthony Wayne, the founder of the fort that grew into the See City of Fort Wayne. The fortified wall represents Fort Wayne. The six-winged seraph symbolizes the inspired word of God. St. Matthew is one of the inspired evangelists who recorded this Word. Thus the angel identifies the patron of the cathedral in South Bend. The river bend is expressed in heraldry by a wavy line. This represents the See City of South Bend. The fleur-de-lis is the lily, symbol of purity and of the chaste foster father of Christ, St. Joseph. It indicates the locale of the See City — the St. Joseph River and valley, and St. Joseph County.

- Roman_Catholic_Diocese_of_Gallup symbolism "The most common and significant color of vital life in nature is green.

The Faith prevailed, and the Diocese of Gallup is under the patronage of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who is signified by the single silver star that appears in the upper right of the diocesan arms.".
- Roman_Catholic_Diocese_of_Gaylord symbolism "The “argent” wavy bordure recalls that the Diocese is nearly surrounded by the two Great Lakes, Michigan and Huron, and the Straits of Mackinac. The two “argent” six-point stars are reminiscent of the stars that appear on the crest of the Carmelite Order, recalling that the Church of Gaylord is under the patronage of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. The two stars also represent the Dioceses of Grand Rapids and Saginaw which yielded territories to establish the Gaylord diocese in 1971. The “ chevronel ” surmounting the “or” Cross, was chosen to symbolize the new presence of the Church of Our Lord in the City of Gaylord, the city highest in elevation in Michigan’s lower peninsula; indeed, the “chevron,” whose shape recalls the truss of a roof, has been adopted in heraldry since the time of the Middle Ages to symbolize the building where the population assembles; for Catholics this building is the Church.".
- Roman_Catholic_Diocese_of_Grand_Island symbolism "The main colors, green and gold, recall the fertile plains and fields of western Nebraska, while the cross, reaching to the edges of the heraldic field, recalls the Lord's commission to his Church, to make disciples of all the nations.

- Roman_Catholic_Diocese_of_Grand_Rapids symbolism "The wavy blue bars is a representation used to recall the site of the rapids in the Grand River where, in 1833, missionary priest Frederick Baraga established the first permanent Catholic mission while the area was still a part of the Northwest Territory. From this missionary outpost at Grand Rapids, and traveling mostly by water, Bishop Baraga, his successor Bishop Ignatius Mrak and Father Andrew Viszosky established mission stations at Beaver Island, Grand Traverse, Cheboygan, Manistee, Muskegon, Grand Haven and Ionia. Today, the Diocese of Grand Rapids encompasses the Catholic community in eleven counties in the mid-western part of Michigan’s lower peninsula. This water image further underscores the defining presence of Lake Michigan, the western boundary of the Diocese of Grand Rapids, and in religious terms, the defining presence of Christ: “Jesus stood up and exclaimed, ‘Let anyone who thirsts come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as scripture says: ‘Rivers of living water will flow from within him.’.” Emblazoned over the watery background of the Coat of Arms of the Diocese of Grand Rapids is a red Cross Moline, the arms of which peel off into two curls at the end. The word “moline” comes from the French moulin or “mill” since this cross resembles the curved extremities of a millrynd, the iron which supports an upper millstone. The agrarian roots of this cross shape suggest the wheat of the Holy Eucharist, the source and summit of the Christian community. While interpretations of the Cross Moline vary, some heraldic experts say that this particular Cross symbolizes the mutual convergence of human society – thus adding to its Eucharistic meaning. “As this broken bread was scattered upon the hills, and was gathered together and made one, so let thy Church be gathered together into thy kingdom from the ends of the earth.” . In the context of the Diocese of Grand Rapids, the shape of the Cross Moline also has an extended symbolic meaning, which is an “anchor” firmly set in the water. The anchor is an image of Jesus Christ, the security of the soul, and a sign of hope in troubled waters: “...we who have taken refuge might be strongly encouraged to hold fast to the hope that lies before us. This we have as an anchor of the soul, sure and firm ....”".

- Roman_Catholic_Diocese_of_Honolulu symbolism "The cross is of episcopal authority representing the faith planted by the early missionaries in Hawaii, quartered on a field of red, chosen because it was the dominant color on Hawaii's coat of arms.

The cross is quartered in white and blue, the colors of Blessed Mother, the diocese's patroness under the title Our Lady of Peace.

- Roman_Catholic_Diocese_of_Houma-Thibodaux symbolism "The arms of the diocese are composed of two portions.

These arms are composed of a red field on which is displayed a silver cross that is charged in the center with a gold enflamed heart to honor the Sacred Heart. These arms also contain a blue chief that contains three golden fleur-de-lis. The lower half of the design is used to represent the Co-See City of Thibodaux by displaying the symbols of St. Joseph, patron of the Co-Cathedral. This is accomplished by using a silver carpenter's square that is placed between three silver lilies, which additionally represent the French heritage of south-western Louisiana.".
- Roman_Catholic_Diocese_of_Lafayette-in-Indiana symbolism "The crescent at the top is the emblem of the Blessed Virgin under the title of the Immaculate Conception. She is the patroness of the diocese and its cathedral, the Cathedral of St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception. The use of lunar symbolism to represent the Blessed Mother is common, and comes from the Scriptures that say: “... and a great sign appeared in the sky — a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of 12 stars.” The crescent moon also is found in the arms of the Diocese of Fort Wayne, mother diocese of the Diocese of Lafayette-in-Indiana. The crenellated dividing line, just below the crescent, suggests the wall of a castle or fort. The same motif is found in the coat of arms for the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend, to represent the historic Fort Wayne. But for the Diocese of Lafayette-in-Indiana, it likely pays homage to Fort Ouiatenon, a French trading fort that once stood near the Wabash River, south of modern-day West Lafayette. There, as early as 1717, Catholicism came to what is now northcentral Indiana. The bottom section of the diocesan arms features a field of bell-like devices in silver and blue. On that field is a red shield with a diagonal gold bar: the arms of the Marquis de Lafayette, a French nobleman who became a major general in the colonial Army under General George Washington during the American Revolution. General Lafayette was touring the United States in 1825, when the frontier town of Lafayette was platted and named in his honor; the use of the marquis’ personal arms thus identifies Lafayette, Indiana, as the diocesan see city.".
- Roman_Catholic_Diocese_of_Lansing symbolism "Two lances cross in the form of an X play on the name of the See City of Lansing.

The left side of these arms is red on which is displayed a silver sword of St. Paul, the patron of the Diocese of Covington. The right side of these arms is silver on which is seen a blue fleur-de-lis of the Archdiocese of Louisville. These two fields signify that the Diocese of Lexington is carved from territory taken from each of these sees. The bottom of these arms, which comes to a point to represent the mountains of eastern Kentucky, is blue to signify Kentucky, "The Bluegrass State". On this field is a Gold diadem placed on a silver cross to honor Christ, the King, titular of the Cathedral-Church in Lexington.".
- Roman_Catholic_Diocese_of_Madison symbolism "The arms of the diocese are composed of a field that is wavy bars of silver and blue. This is the traditional heraldic representation for water and the field of "water" is divided by a red cross into four sections to remind us of the lakes of the region around Madison. On the red cross is a fish and this conjunction of symbols is a classic symbolic representation for Saint Raphael, the titular of the Cathedral Church of Madison. Raphael means "healer of God" and his ministrations to men make interesting reading in the Book of Tobit in the Old Testament. The fish recalls the episode where Raphael ordered Tobias to cook a fish to eat but removed the heart, liver and gall for future medicinal use. Later the liver was used by Tobias to drive out the devil, who had slain seven of the previous husbands of Sara, his wife, while the gall was used to restore sight to his blind father.".
- Roman_Catholic_Diocese_of_Memphis symbolism "The colors of the diocesan arms, a red field with white and blue accents, are taken from the State Flag of Tennessee; in heraldry, however, white is always shown as metallic silver. The principal charge, a silver pyramid crowned with the Christian cross, recalls the ancient city of Memphis, the capital of Egypt in the pharaonic age, from which the city takes its name. The cross, the sign of faith, is indicative of the Christianity of modern Memphis. The blue wavy bars on the upper division of the shield symbolize the two rivers that constitute the boundaries of the diocese, the Tennessee and the Mississippi. The small mountain - “montini” in Italian - are a play on the family name of Pope Paul VI, who established the diocese in 1971; they are also reminiscent of the mountains of Tennessee.".
- Roman_Catholic_Diocese_of_Providence symbolism "The arms of the diocese are composed of a blue field on which are placed three silver crosses with arms that appear to terminate in anchors. These crosses, heraldically known as “moline crosses,” are used to signify, by employing the symbol of the State of Rhode Island, the anchor, that the Diocese of Providence encompasses all of the state it was established to serve. The crosses, in the number that signifies The Trinity, are rendered in the traditional colors of water because of the importance that water plays in the life of “The Ocean State.” These colors are also the traditional colors for the representation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who, in her title of Our Lady of Providence, is Patroness of the Diocese and of the See City.".
- Roman_Catholic_Diocese_of_Rochester symbolism "The St. Andrew's Cross was taken from the coat of arms of the original Diocese of Rochester in England . The new design is distinguished from the original, by changing a scallop shell in the center to the crescent symbol of the Immaculate Conception. The cross emphasizes the bishop as the successor to the apostles, and the bishop's charge to preach and live the Word of God faithfully and to witness to the Resurrection.".
- Roman_Catholic_Diocese_of_Saint_Petersburg symbolism "The inverted Latin cross within the coat of arms is used to honor St. Peter, who was nailed to a cross, head downwards, because he deemed himself unworthy to be crucified in the same manner as Jesus Christ. The Spanish explorers and early missionaries who first brought the Gospel here over four hundred and seventy years ago are acknowledged by the predominant colors of red and gold and by the castle tower and lion which were part of the Coat of arms of the King of Spain, The Indian arrowhead in the base of the shield is a recognition of the indigenous people of Florida. Memorializing St. Jude the Apostle, the patron of the diocese, is the halberd, or battle-ax, by which it is said he was martyred in Persia for preaching the Gospel.".
- Roman_Catholic_Diocese_of_San_Jose_in_California symbolism "The Coat of Arms of the Diocese of San Jose displays symbols showing California roots, the Santa Clara Valley and the City of San Jose; a diagonal band of Latin crosses represents the missionary tradition of the area of which Santa Clara de Asis is one. Symbols also represent the Archdiocese of San Francisco from which the Diocese of San Jose was founded in 1981; the rose, emblem of Mary ; a carpenter’s square represents the diocese’s patron, St. Joseph; and mountains represent the Santa Clara Valley.".
- Roman_Catholic_Diocese_of_Shreveport symbolism "The coat of arms of the Diocese of Shreveport is composed of a red field to represent the Red River that runs through the See City. On this red field is a gold sunburst charged with the monogram of the Holy Name , the symbol of the Society of Jesus . This symbolism is employed here to represent Saint John Berchmans, titular of the Cathedral Church, who was a Jesuit. From the sunburst issue three wavy bars to represent the three rivers that run through the diocese--the Red, the Mississippi, and the Ouachita--and to represent the waters of Baptism that flow from God, Our Father, to save all mankind.".
- Roman_Catholic_Diocese_of_Springfield_in_Illinois symbolism "A gold field on which is displayed a blue cross denotes Faith. The fountain is used to represent a small body of water, such as a pond or a spring. So, canting the name of the See City, the background of the diocesan arms is a “field of springs;” thus, Springfield.

- Roman_Catholic_Diocese_of_St._Augustine symbolism "The coat of arms of the Diocese of St. Augustine reflects the diocese’s titular patron – St. Augustine of Hippo – as well as the history of the area of Florida that comprises the diocese. The background, quartered red and silver are reminiscent of the Spanish roots of Florida and the see city of St. Augustine which was founded in 1565. In the royal arms of Spain the fields of Castile and Leon are of these tinctures. The main symbol of the field, a flaming heart transfixed by an arrow in gold , is of the human heart transfixed by Divine Love. This is the traditional emblem of St. Augustine of Hippo depicting his famous quotation from Confessions, chapter 1: “Our hearts shall ever restless be, until they find their rest in Thee.”".
- Roman_Catholic_Diocese_of_Superior symbolism "The See of Superior uses the gold and blue of the French arms to commemorate the first Catholic missionaries who came from France to explore the region now known as the Diocese of Superior. The Latin crosses, terminating in fleur-de-lis, accentuate the symbolism of the French colors and betoken the missionaries who brought faith to the Indians in the territory of the See. The crosses are known as "fitchy" because the ends are pointed like stakes to facilitate driving them into the ground. The number of crosses is Trinitarian to represent the Blessed Trinity. The crosses further commemorate the edict of King Charles V in 1376, when he reduced the number of fleur-de-lis in the French coat-of-arms to three in honor of the Three Divine Persons. The blue waters of Lake Superior are indicated across the top of the shield by the wavy blue lines of the "chief" or upper partition.".
