Coadjutor Bishop of Great Falls-Billings, 2022-present

Origin/meaning

The sheaves or wheat are a typical Eucharistic symbol and also remind of the wide agricultural areas of Montana, rich with wheat fields, while the green underlines the color of the trees and pastures of this area.

The star symbolizes the Blessed Virgin Mary, who lights the way of the Bishop.

The three chevronells recall the Rocky Mountains of the State of Montana. The gold symbolizes the first virtue, faith, the blue symbolizes separation from worldly values and the ascent of the soul towards God.

For his episcopal motto, Bishop Fleming has chosen the beginning of the Great Commission that Jesus gives to the Church, "Go Make Disciples".
