Origin/meaning
As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop.
The circular symbol represents the Eucharist. Female and male figures, the Christian community, are touching heads and radiate outward from the center. The community is fed by the Body and Blood of Christ, and itself becomes the Mystical Body of Christ.
The three blue fleurs-de-lys are taken from the arms of the Archdiocese of St. Louis and represent his French heritage.
