The upper blue field honors the Blessed Virgin Mary. The golden lozenge (diamond) which a red cross represents Jesus Christ in both His Divinity and in His Humanity. The lozenge is placed between two silver angels wings to represent the Archangel Gabriel who announces the Incarnation and thus refers to the Annunciation, titular of the Cathedral of Stockton. | |||
