English blazon wanted
  • (en) Azure a fess lozengy Argent and Gules between in chief a coronet flory and in base two keys in saltire Or.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on April 15, 2022.

The red and white lozenges allude to the coat of arms of the Diocese of Hamilton. The criss-cross pattern formed by the lozenges refers to the gridiron attribute of St. Lawrence, Bishop Lobsinger’s patron saint. Red and white are the colours of Canada and therefore allude to his country of origin and service.

The coronet evokes the Cathedral Basilica of Christ the King in Hamilton where he was ordained to the priesthood and the episcopate. The fleur-de-lis shapes, as well as the blue background colour, refer to the Blessed Virgin Mary, to whom he has a particular devotion.

The crossed keys symbolize St. Peter and thus St. Peter’s Seminary in London, Ontario, where Bishop Lobsinger studied and later served as Spiritual Director.
