As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop. | |||
The arms represent building blocks which signify the builidng up of the People of God into Christian community and reflects Bishop Weigand's ministry of renewing the local Church through the formation of networks of small Christian communities. The crozier recalls his baptismal patron, St. William, who was both abbott and archbishop, and his own role as pastor and shepherd. The shepherd builds his flock into Christian community through basic evangelization, that is, by proclaiming from the mountain tops (the chevron in the center of the field) ''in season and out'' the Good News (signified by the Book of the Word of God in the chief) that Jesus is present in their midst. | |||
The ichthys, or fish, superimposed on the bible is the ancient christian symbol of Jesus, the Greek letters of the word ''fish'' meaning ''Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior.". | |||
For his motto, Bishop Weigand has chosen the phrase ''Feed My Lambs'', echoing the Lord's instructions to Peter (John 21 :15). | |||
