+The arms were originally designed by Dom William Bayne OSB of the Abbey of Saint-Gregory the Great in Portsmouth (RI). The golden fleur-de-lis-cross on blue comes from the arms of the [[Archdiocese of Boston]] of which the diocese Worcester in 1950 was created.

+The fleur-de-lis endings refer to the first Bishop of Boston, [[Jean-Louis Lefebvre de Cheverus]], a French bishop who later became cardinal-archbishop of Bordeaux, France. The employment of the Cross is to proclaim the major theme of the Preachings of Saint-Paul, titular of the Cathedral-church of Worcester.
+The four red plates, called ¨Torteaux¨, are taken from the arms of the (Anglican) [[Diocese of Worcester]] in England, honoring the name of the See city.
