Origin/meaning
As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop.
The personal arms slightly changed between Orlando and Miami.
His coat of arms shows a white eagle in the center, symbolic of Poland, his ethnic heritage. At the feet of the eagle are two silver crosses originally taken from the archbishop’s home diocese of Miami and now retained as a sign of God’s divine providence as the archbishop returns to his birthplace and the seeds of his early ministry.
Above the eagle are three fleurs-de-lis, which are taken from the shield of the Diocese of Orlando where he served as bishop. These ancient symbols represent the Virgin Mary under the three titles that have marked the archbishop’s pastoral ministry: Our Lady of Perpetual Help, patroness of Haitians; Our Lady of Charity, patroness of Cubans; and the Immaculate Conception, patroness of the United States. The background of the shield is blue and red, the colors of the Haitian flag.
The archbishop’s episcopal motto is “Omnia Omnibus,” which means “All things to all men” is taken from St. Paul’s Letter to the Corinthians, “I have become all things to all men, to save at least some” (1 Cor 9:22).
The achievement is completed with the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of bishop.
