As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop. | |||
Bishop Parkes has chosen to represent his family heritage and the dioceses in which he was ordained and served as a Priest and as a Bishop. The three stag heads are drawn directly from the Parkes family arms, and signify peace, purity and strength. The stag heads are red to symbolize strength, nobility and fairness. | |||
The lower half includes elements found on the shields of the [[Diocese of Orlando]] and the [[Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee]]. The red Chi-Rho is taken from the two first letters of the Greek word for Christ, the Son of God and the center of all Christian faith; it honors the Diocese of Orlando. The Sacred Heart honors the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee; it represents the titular Cathedral of the Diocese located in Pensacola. | |||
The motto: "Nomini Tuo Do Gloriam" ("To Your Name, Give Glory") is taken from Psalm 115. | |||
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. | |||
