Origin/meaning
As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop.
The red and blue of the shield honor the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Blessed Virgin Mary. The gold indented "pale" honors the Holy Trinity. The silver (white) crescent and the red seraph with gold (yellow) nimbus are to be found on the Arms of the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend in the state of Indiana. These charges honor the patrons of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Fort Wayne, and the Co-Cathedral of St. Matthew in South Bend.
The red upper portion of the Arms and the silver of the crescent honor the Polish heritage of the family of Bishop Jenky.
It is customary for members of religious orders to display the Arms, or incorporate the insignia of their order on the personal Arms when ordained to the Episcopate. The emblems in the fourth quarter are the Arms of the Congregation of the Holy Cross.
