Given that one of Bishop Kirkpatrick's baptismal names is Joseph the lower part of the shield bears a carpenter's square, an emblem of St. Joseph the Worker. It is inscribed with the letters "J, M, J" signifying Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, but here also a reference to his parents, James and Margaret as well as his own middle name Joseph. His Episcopal ordination date is July 25th, the Feast of St. James the Apostle. Saint Mary of the Assumption, his home parish in St. Catharines from birth to ordination is symbolized by the lily, emblematic of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and here placed within the protective arms of St. Joseph's carpenter's square. Centrally placed is the broken wheel of Saint Catherine of Alexandria, the patron saint of the Diocese of St. Catherines. | Given that one of Bishop Kirkpatrick's baptismal names is Joseph the lower part of the shield bears a carpenter's square, an emblem of St. Joseph the Worker.
