The feather fashioned into a quill, a symbol which appears in a 16th-century coat of arms of the Toups (Dubs) family, serves as a reminder of his family lineage. In addition, Bishop Toups spent much of his priesthood in the service of Catholic education as a pastor, professor, administrator, and rector of the major seminary in Florida. The plume/quill represents the importance of the intellectual pursuit of the truth and his desire to be a Shepherd faithful and true. Also, his inspiration comes from the witness St. Teresa of Calcutta who often said that she was simply “I am only a pencil in the hand of God, but it is He who writes.” | The feather fashioned into a quill, a symbol which appears in a 16th-century coat of arms of the Toups (Dubs) family, serves as a reminder of his family lineage.
