As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop. | |||
Bishop Plagens' arms may be derived from the root-word plaga, which suggested the division of the field of his arms into seven stripes; his two name patrons, St. Joseph and St. Casimir, are indicated: the first by the lily, the second by the silver eagle on red of the old royal Polish arms (his family originates from Poland). | |||
