The black bar charged with the three silver discs is taken from the arms of William Penn, founder of the Commonwealth of [[Pennsylvania]], one of the original 13 colonies. | |||
The upper half rerpresents the cathedral and co-cathderal. The ciborium between the two circular wafers represent the cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament in Altoona. The abbot´s mitre represents the Co-Cathedral of Saint-John Gualbert in Johnstown. | |||
The cross in the lower half is one of the quarterings of the Prince Gallitzin, of Russian nobility. Bishop Carroll, America´s first shepherd, assigned Father Gallitzin to Loretto, Pennsylvania, as pastor in March 1799. The Russian prince spent 41 years developing the area spiritually and industrially, thus gaining the title of "The apostle of the Alleghenies". | |||
