As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop. | |||
The arms are quartered by a cross, a Christian symbol. The hand symbolises the bishop's power and authority. The dove symbolises the Holy Spirit. The fleur-de-lys symbolises four things; St. Mary, St. Aloysius, the Trinity and the Archdiocese of Dubuque. | |||
The lion in the lower quarter symbolises St. Edward, the patron saint of the bishop. | |||
The achievement is completed with the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of bishop. | |||
